I would suggest running Scarlet Monastery. Lots of greens at that level, iirc.
edit: Sorry, I misread the question

I'll tell you how I determine where to get certain mats.
Say I need some Greater Astral Essences. There are also Lesser Astral Essences - 3 of which will also make a Greater Astral Essence.
I come to Wowhead and enter Lesser Astral Essence in the search bar. I move to the Disenchanted From tab and sort by Item Level if I'm looking to make things with my Tailoring, or by Required Level if I want to search the AH for particularly cheap items or find a dungeon to farm.
I want to find a Dungeon, so I find it simpler to just look by Required Level.
----------------------------------------
At the high end for Lesser Astral Essence is Required Level 20. At the Low End (scrolling on the Disenchanted From tab,
past
where there is no required level), the lowest items Require Level 16 -- there is one level 14 outlier but it has a very bad drop rate, so ignore that!
At the high end for Greater Astral Essence is Required Level 25 for Greens to drop it. At the Low end is Required Level 21 for greens.
So if I need Astral Essences, I have a range of Required levels 16-25. In which instances can I find gear that requires levels within this range to equip?
Again, I use Wowhead, this time navigating through the menus:
Database > Zones > Dungeons: Sort by Level
Shadowfang Keep looks to be about the right level, right? Well. Go to Shadowfang Keep's page, and navigate to the NPCs tab. Find an elite NPC which is neither a boss nor a level 80-82 Holiday NPC.
Lupine Horror can range from levels 19-21, which is reasonably high for the instance. Click his link and look at the Drops tab. Sort by Required Level and look at Green Gear. Drops from that mob tend to require between levels 14-22 to equip. This is actually slightly lower than you may find optimal - though SFK would by no means be horrible for you.
But you might instead consider Blackfathom Deeps, which tends about 2 levels higher all around.
----------------------------------
It sounds more involved than it is, but it really only takes moments to figure out where you want to be farming for any particular mat.

Sadly, being a Pally you're probably not running Tailoring, you'll prefer to sell the cloth you pick up and use it to buy mats. But don't neglect your blacksmithing if you've got it!
