where do i go to get these things? i’ve been killing stuff all over the place, never drops, so… where do i have to go kill stuff for’em?
The drop rate for them is very low. It took me several weeks of casual gameplay to get all of them.

low drop rate and random, but drop 4-5 things at same time

Humanoids will drop them.
Your first drop per day will get you a decent amount (4-7) and you should get that drop pretty fast. After that, the drop rate decreases dramatically to the point where it’s not worth doing.
So basically, do your emissary each day and focus on humanoid killing. Once you get your first drop, don’t worry about it until the next day. In about a week, you’ll have enough for the quest.

They drop from I believe any lvl 120 mob.
Each day you’ll get one drop of 3-5 pretty fast. After that, they will continue to drop, usually in singles, and much more rarely. After the next daily reset, you’ll be able to get another 3-5 drop pretty fast again. Or you can just farm em out like I did.
I’d recommend a Blood troll farm at the bloodgate if you can catch one that’s hoppin. There are also groups forming up for them still in group finder occasionally. Basically if you can get involved in a farm group that’s killing a large number of mobs, you’ll get em “faster” but it’s still painfully slow. A lot of people just join a farm group until they get their 3-5 drop then go about their business until the next day.
Edited: Said spare parts farm in mechagon instead of blood trolls for some reason… dunno what was on my mind at the time.

Blood Gate farming by murdering Blood Trolls, and a lot of them. Though on more than a few occassions I saw a massive Boomkin multiboxer causing the extinction of Blood Trolls. So find a group for it in Group Finder, there should still be a few at least. You will phase into another realm and kill Blood Trolls with other people so you can get your Echoes, usually for the day. The transmog is awesome, since you can use it on low level toons and it looks great, though cutting off my ears whenever I wear the hood is weird. 
LFR Eternal Palace is also a great source for Echoes. Bosses seem to often if not always drop one Echo, which is useful in the long run.

If you just do world quests and the new old god content, you will get them slowly. You will average about 4 per day. There appears to be a cap on how many drop for you in a day.

They just drop from 120 (and 120+) level mobs.
I took the quests on my alts and I think 4 have it done now from casual play. You still get the gold when your alt completes it, so it is a quest that gets completed automatically over time. Mine was done several weeks ago without grinding.
hunt down humanoid enemies, if its on two legs or is a naga beeline them
There’s a place right above zulzudar with a blood gate that’s got really easy to kill humanoids and when you kill a good handful of them you’ll usually get 6-8 echoes and after that the drop chance is super reduced. It’s easy to get the big batch of them once a day and then go back to the same farming spot than grind them. I think it took me logging in once a day for a week to get mine or maybe 1.5 if memory serves cause I didn’t want to grind them
Find or start a group in group finder to farm at the blood gate. I got all of mine in two days via grouping up with like minded individuals. At one point we had about 15 people farming them at once. You just need to make sure you hit as many as possible at least once to have a chance at an echo dropping. Its a tedious grind but the transmog is worth it…
everyone’s tellin me to do bloodgate, but uh… i tried, literally only got 1 echo. so… i ran into zuldazar, farmed one of the blood-troll flooded questing zones, and got like… 3 so… not sure which is better. all i know is that this droprate sucks. especially for something from a pre-order.

We are saying bloodgate because of the spawn rate of the blood trolls and the amount in the area. Especially if youre in a group with a few people you can wipe the area out and the blood trolls keep respawning within seconds. The more you kill the better chance you have at getting echos.
The drop rate MEGA SUCKS.

The drop rate sucks, which is why you stop worrying about it after the first drop each day (and the first drop has a high drop rate). Treat it as a daily and not something to grind and you won’t go crazy over it.

Once a day keeps the grinding away

I literally don’t think about it and I am over half way to having it. I will be doing WQs or Uldum/Pandaria invasions, I will get a highlighted loot item. and I’m like, “What? I didn’t take a quest” then realize it’s for this. Just relax and it will happen naturally.
Plenty of humanoids spawn in the new invasions. I’ve gotten 37 of 40 just doing the 8.3 dailies. I’ll probably be done tonight.
You get a guaranteed 6 per day off of your first handful of mobs. Then the drop rate tapers off and you can either just wait patiently getting 6 a day or you can join a farm party and grind them all out in one day. Depending on your luck it could take 2 hours, or 8.
You can force a finish in a day, but you’re gonna throw away an afternoon.
Blood Gate (north of Zandalar), put on a podcast/movie, then go ham and AoE a LOT of Blood Trolls.
I got a lot by doing Freehold.
