Horde Skinning War Effort Quests

All leather quests require only 10 turn-ins as opposed to 20 for all other profession-resource quests, so you have to complete half as many turn-ins to earn the same number of Commendations.

The Horde get three quests with heavy overlap between them:The Horde Needs More Heavy Leather!,The Horde Needs More Thick Leather! andThe Horde Needs More Rugged Leather!. If you are high enough level, you can target mobs that maximize the amount of Rugged Leather you get (for the 10-commendation turn-ins) but the Thick Leather you get as a potential secondary skin is useful for the 7-commendation turn-ins, so your skinning time is never wasted. If you're a bit lower, you can target mostly Thick Leather and get Heavy Leather as a potential byproduct. It wins all around.

While there are a number of ideal farms, there are enough secondary farms in less well-known places that you shouldn't need to compete too directly for spawn.
