Yeah I farm there all the time with my elementalist using a earth ether renewal build. Basically I bring ward of stability so their meteors don't knock me down. That way I can take on a bunch of them without any problems at all!
As far as drops, I've gotten loads of gold items there. Recently not so many, but maybe that's just coincidence. I basically mix up my farming between hydras, minotaurs, trolls and even ettins still, so I don't get too bored! :P

I farm those Hydra's all the time.
You can get max stats on drops, but it's pretty rare.
If you go threw the whole zone in a big circle and end with the griffins your should get this result.
2k to 2.4k in gold
2k to 2.5k in items to sell to merchant.
You will get lots of weapon upgrades to salvage.
It takes about 40 min to do the circle, and averages out to 85 hydra's 12 griffons.

using auspicious parry, i can kill 3-4 hydras under a minute, i spam riposte over and over because of auspicous parry's adrenaline gain, and i spike several times with drunken and desp blow to add some more conditions, its not bad, works pretty good, but it gets a lil crazy when you get to 5-6 hydras, since the only thing keeping you alive is dolyak and healing signet

I usually find hydra farming more profitable than the trolls. I seem to have more luck with them and do often get gold item drops (mainly useless caster weapons, but with useful mods every now and then).

2k to 2.4k in gold
2k to 2.5k in items to sell to merchant. That's roughly what I get as well. Runs are usually 40 Mins and can make 5-6K, just picking up gold and selling all items to the merchant. I tend to leave the griffons alone, they've had it rough in the past.
For me, it's on par with the vermin runs (in Factions) when I tend to get 2.5-3k for a 15-20 min run. Although, there's less gold item drops and less good mods to salvage. It's slightly quicker, but boredom sets in much sooner.
