Mr.Kotte
Has anyone got the statistics of the droprates from them bosses? (i.e is it like one tome every 20 run (1/20) or one every 50 run (1/50)?)
Also, my contribution: Cultist Milthuran (--->Necromancer<---), E/A (Intensity, Crystal Wave, Tenai's Crystals, Glyph of Elemental Power and Obsidian Flame is needed, very few enemies to make sliver armor sufficient)
PS: I did 150 runs on Milthuran and got no elite tomes what so ever... Probably my bad luck..
*EDIT: Added boss profession.
*EDIT 2: HEYHEYHEY, This is NOT an Elementalist Boss!!! This is a Necromancer boss!!!! The build used to kill him is E/A!!! NOTENOTENOTE!

I beleive, it is based on how often you attempt to farm the boss. Seeing as how i farmed Admiral Kaya for a sin and got one in my 3rd try after abstaining for like, 3-4 months. Im not saying you have to wait that long, but the longer you wait, i think the less runs you have to do. (could be wrong, just based on my experience)

E/A - having Dark Escape help running pass giants by the res shrine. If Dunshek's mob spawn with another monk in it, then he'll be very difficult to kill. If you get this spawn then look for and spring a popup mob to increase Sliver damages, otherwise just resign and start a fresh run.

Will check this, thnx for the information. 
Will also post back the results - and also, so I didnt get you wrong, what you're saying is that if I farm one boss, take... Stonereaper for example, for 10 times, then wait a while (...wait 3 months...), then farm him again, I should have a higher chance of getting a Elite Tome?

It's completely random, so don't waste your time trying to quantify it. I got an Elite Tome the first time I soloed the Scar Eater and Birneh Skybringer. It took me about 3 hours to get one from TomTom Spiriteater and Eshim Mindclouder. It took more to get one from Fahralon. I've soloed Zehnelun Fastfoot and Johon in excess of 50 times each over the course of a few days and neither one dropped a tome for me during that period. Some people get lots; some people have never had one drop at all.
My point is that the only thing you can do to improve your chances of getting an Elite tome is to be patient and persistent.
@OP: you forgot to add Fahralon the Zealous to the Dervish list and all of the Cathedral of Flames bosses. Unless you disagree with the inclusion of these bosses for some reason.

After each enchantment is cast, let your energy gain back up because the environment effect will become a problem.

Is there a way to farm normal tomes as well??

ADD:
Mesmer: Xisni Dream Haunt, Mourning Veil Falls outside Durheim Archives.
Used E/A. Annoyances: (a) when entering zone, there is a group of insects that can be easily aggro-ed; (b) Warden mob that heads to Xisni Dream Haunt, if it contains a warrior then Sliver seems to always target him.

Just farm non-bosses in HM, they'll drop a normal tome of their profession. e.g the undeads in "Fahranur, The First City" are warriors and necros, so those are the tomes you'll get if you farm them.

using E/A : OgdTkY28ZyYQnB3BHkH6cINrBCA I use a different build (I didn't come up with it, though):
Shadow of Haste
Glyph of Elemental Power
Kinetic Armor
Shadow Form
Death's Charge
Sliver Armor
Obsidian Flame
Dash
Mystic Twister goes through Shadow Form, so you need a way to deal with it--which is why Kinetic Armor is there. Dark Escape is another good way to deal with it (probably better for A/Es).

many of the e/a solo farm bosses you mention, i use the a/e variation. and for the dervish, there is an easier boss, Fahralon the Zealous, just bring Dash and Armor of Earth/Feigned Neutrality while fighting him using the a/e shadow boss farm build. In addition, i found it possible to farm Exuro Flatus with the same build as well, just aggro one shadow army mob and you are good to go (unless followed by a shadow warrior, which screws things up).
XiaoTheBlade
Yeah I farm Fahralon a lot, hes a really easy farm, even nets a few LB points
Sell the scythe 10k, elite tome 10k... drops other good stuff also and is normally a locked chest in his group.

For farahlon, take the normal build but armour of earth instead of a run spell, done right he dies easily and you can easily take on another one enemy for the chance of a rare drop [I killed an extra enemy and for a r11 insc. gold felly

Are there any farmable bosses in Tyria?
All of the bosses mentioned here seem to belong in either Cantha, Elona or GW:EN. I've only unlocked HM for Prophecies, sadly.

Craw stonereap stands in my way every time 55-SV Necro works there perfectly, run by the mob in the corridor (they will disengage right before you run into mobs downstairs), stand by the wall (some time you need to wait until he walks in your aggro bubble) and SV Stonereap, all you need is Mending on you, do not put anything else on, as he will use other skills and will add heavy degen and removes all enchantments on you. After that your way to Stonewrath is clear.
