I'll have a look at Arathi now.
I have another question; my skinning is at 230, but my leatherworking is at 130. I'm starting to get heavy leather from beasts, but I can only use medium leather at the moment. It seems to be taking ages to get it up, any ideas of what I should do from leatherworkers out there?

I don't what level your on, but you have to be facing 26+ monsters to be getting Heavy Leather. If you need medium, just fight monsters 20-26. Also, if you just want to "power level" your leatherworking up to use heavy leather, simply buy a crapload of medium leather from the AH (sensibly though).
Once you get heavy, you'll be very satisfied. Also, read my post below.
Ivellis, have you tried Thousand Needles. While it is primarily an Orc area, you can make it a great place for skinning and questing. Simply travel to Gadgeztan in Tanaris desert, get the flight path. Now you can fly to Tanaris, and walk a short distance to the Mirage Raceway in Thousand needles. The goblins give you great XP, money, and other stuff. The monsters you fight there are skinning galore. Not to mention you make great cash. Basiliks in particular, are a great mob to grind. You kill em, get great body parts to sell, and skin for medium and/or heavy leather. Scorpids are also great. You'll also find birds for other great body parts.
Swamp of Sorrows is a higher level region, and mainly a horde area. I'd recommend 37+ for Swamp of Sorrows.
Arathi as mentioned before, gives you lots of great oppurtunites, and a relief from the jungle beat. Also, you can try Desolace. The monsters might be a bit tough for your level, but you will find a few pocket of areas with mobs your level. Desolace is great for levels (30-40), and I started at level 33 like yourself. You will also find (start drooling) better basiliks with better and more frequent body part drops, and excellent skinning.
1 hour of grinding basiliks in Desolace and I'd make something like 3+gp along with getting decent XP, and lots of thick/heavy leather (granted i fought the higher level basiliks).
