Faction Farm Zaishen Solo
Not really that big or ground-breaking, in fact it seems to be a pretty run-of-the-mill, maximum-damage-output, typical-fire-nuker deal. But, it is effective, it is reliable, and most importantly, it is fast! And for people like me who don't want to go to the trouble of RA for an hour just to get 2k faction, this is a welcoming sanctuary to those who are seemingly PvP-inert.

Strategy
To maximize speed, always fight the IW mesmer team. They're weak. And it doesn't really matter, but I always play the Crypt and camp my set of stairs while I prepare.
When you enter wait until around 10 seconds to cast Fire Attunement, and when the timer hits zero, cast Aura of Restoration. (If playing in the crypt), run to the base of your stairs and camp. Wait until the mob is half aggro bubble away from your aggro bubble (or about that) and hit Glyph of Renewal. Press C to target closest enemy. When they enter your aggro radius, begin casting Meteor Shower. But if the enemy you have selected begins casting Imagined Burden, simply switch targets with a quick stroke of TAB and continue casting Meteor Shower.
Meteor Shower is generally 1/2 to 3/4 cast by the time they start wailing on you. As soon as the cast finishes, cast it again! They'll start getting knocked down ultimately negating damage against you and each cast of Meteor Shower (or Rodgort's) will heal for roughly 80 health, so the few hits they do manage to get in aren't really a cause for concern.
As soon as your second Meteor Shower is cast, hit Rodgort's Invocation. As soon as it hits they're going to try and up and run away, so it's crucial that right after Rodgort's Invocation, you hit Frozen Burst then Flame Djinn's Haste. This should be the final blow and drop all four, but if one of them is still standing then use your speed boost to your advantage. Run up to him and hit Inferno. Bam, dead (or at least they should be, otherwise you are in for the fight of your life as soon as they start rezzing).
Equipment doesn't really matter as long as it gives a lot of energy, you're going to need it.
