I need to lvl my maces from 0-400 :P I was wondering if there were any good self-healing mobs that would be good for this, and would require minimal effort on my part.

Anachronos by the cot meeting stone, he doesn't heal but he has 1,599,000 health and respawns instantly. When I get bored and there're some people in the area I'll train him to gadgetzan and let all the lower level people play with him and raise their weapon skills.

There's a mob in a cave in Badlands I believe (or Blasted Lands, can't remember which) that you can't kill unless you're on a certain quest. You can get him down to 1 hp and whack away for hours. He hits with spell dmg, so unless you can self heal, he'll whittle away at your hp after a while. I trained on him a while back for 2h maces, polearms, and 2h axes when I hit 80 on my DK, and daggers on my rogue.

Also "fixed" in 3.0.8. I hear the shaman in SMV might still work, but I haven't played any classes that need weapon skill because I hate weapon skill grinding just that much. I wish blizz would get the bloody hint and get rid of weapon skills completely. Make it like spell ranks - once you hit the right level, you pay a nominal fee and get the next rank of weapon skill. If you don't, you do less damage or something.
I don't understand how they can say they want to make the game more accessible, then keep the worst grind in the entire game around. It's even worse for the beginning levels, since you're going to be swapping around from axe to mace to sword because this sword has +2 strength over my mace but OH WAIT ONE MINUTE I can't because my sword skill is only at 2. Guess I'd better head to a zone where all the mobs are grey so I can spend the next hour swinging at a defias jackass and missing because I'm too stupid to grasp "swinging a stick = swinging a blade but sideways".
If they got rid of weapon skill they'd probably have 20 million subscribers by now.

Another good place, used it myself for the feral druid which anyone who's played a druid knows feral weapon skills are prob the hardest to level period, is the
Phantasmal Lash
at the Stormrage Barrow Den entrance in the southeast. It's a level 70 lasher that'll attack the nearby npc automatically and respawns within ~3 seconds. The only drawback (irritation) is having to target the newly spawned one everytime which is why I prefer Anachronos.

hmm that's a great strat Kthinxbye. He goes back to full health everytime he reaches 25% and never goes invulnerable which is why the above mentioned mobs don't work anymore. Still enjoy my dragon despite having to set myself to "at war" everytime I wanna play.

There are ghosts in
Dire Maul North
that are around
King Gordok
. They take damage, but never actually
take
the damage so you can hit them for as long as you need. I leveled 4 weapons off of them. They don't attack you and you remain in combat so you can AFK it and never need to heal yourself.
The ghosts are called
Gordok Spirit
.
No longer providing skillups, no mobs that don't attack back or are invincible provide skillups anymore afaik.

I used him to lvl my skill up. He is in a bubble unless your on the quest, and never attacks but still takes damage and never dies. Perfect mob.
