Icethorn is now (beta version 3.02 (8970) Sept 18, 2008) a gatherable herb found in the snowy zones such as Storm Peaks and Icecrown. It may also contain Frost Lotus and Crystallized Life. First gatherable at about skill level 420-440 (confirming).

I took a level 80 premade druid through Storm Peaks and Icecrown. He had Apprentice Herbalism to track herbs but could not collect them. I can confirm Icethorn requires 435 skill to harvest, because that's the number I got in the error message when I tried to pick it. This herb can be found in decent numbers in both zones.

Some things to think of when farming Icethorn. First of all, Storm Peaks is the ultimate place though Icecrown have them as well. These cann be found in mid-fields, but look around the trees. They are mostly under the "leaves" or nearby. They are also often found in mountain hills. So look for trees, that is the key. 280% mount is a good investment if you want to make money on herbs. Icethorn also have a high droprate of Frost Lotus, which sells good and can be used to making flasks.
Edit: The addon "Gatherer" is very usefull for making notes about where they can be found.

The best zone for farming and is without doubt . Due to the zones nature, effective farming is practically impossible without a flying mount. Some of the best farming areas are also inhabited by mobs of level 78-80, some of which are elite. Therefore it's not desirable to farm these herbs without an epic (280%) mount and level 80 character.

Using the route detailed below, I was able to harvest in two circuits a total of 6 stacks (120 herbs) of Icethorn and Lichbloom each. In addition to these ~240herbs I gathered ~4 and 10 . One circuit took approximately 40 minutes to complete. There were one or two herbalists besides me, so these kind of gains should be rather realistic for all times of the day.

Here is the route I used while collecting:

The nodes on the map are from those two circuits alone. I reseted the map before starting my first round. This should give you an idea about how many nodes there are to collect.

As a general tip, one should look for trees. It seems that about 95% of the herbs are located underneath the trees. Do not be afraid to leave the marked route a bit if you see a promising group of trees nearby. More often than not, there is a herb over there.

The best single area for gathering herbs is just a bit west of Maker's Engine. This being the area where my route goes zigzag up and down the mountainside. Running a circle around this area alone should wield great amounts of herbs if one doesn't have the time to do a full circuit.

Great farming: while doing dailies for Sons of Hodir you can find lots of Icethorn and Lichbloom all along the cliffs and in the tree bunches. Great way to kill two birds with one stone.

Storm Peaks is definately the spot to farm this. I ran into Mr. Time-Lost while farming herbs there. :D Aside from that, there is many more herb spawn points in Storm Peaks than any other high level area.

A good plant to finish out your Herbalism if you haven't got access to Vashj'ir yet. I just now finished out to 525 while leveling up from 80 in Storm Peaks. Ran a circuit as described by LoeZ (Thanks for the map) between each set of quests.

Herb showed yellow throughout and gave a skill-up about every 3-4 pickings.

Stormpeaks is the only place to farm this if you dont wanna waste your time, i've pulled three stacks in less than 10 mins. Start at frosthold and move due east till you can go due north at Brunnhildar. Skim the mountains (north side) and keep going in a route to tunk'alo then return. saves you time and there are plenty of drops and a decent reset rate.
