His place holders are the A Greater Lavaspinner. When I saw him he spawned right around 1800, -1200 (not exact LOC but close enough to get em...). Took me about two hours of running laps in the lava pool filled chasm loop just north of the zone to Temple of Solusek Ro. I was killing all the Lavaspinners and Greater Lavaspinners.

Unless I am missing some bit of information, the sword is NOT a common drop from this mob. I spent two cycles of killing Flamebite where he spawned maybe 10-11 times after killing many PHs, and EVERY single time he dropped the gloves. I guess at least the money was good...
