I got a response from Rovio. Exact same wording as @napoleongl already posted.
Also, here’s the results of my research:

Thanks to my friends for those numerous Paladins I had to borrow to do this XD
So, the overall winner after the changes is Chronicle Cave 1 if you go ONLY for snouts or for snouts AND mastery, due to all the brutes and shamans that appear there; the huge EXP level difference doesn’t affect the amount of Snouts and mastery they drop, it seems. Plus, there’s a chance for 10 snouts at the end of the level, and for Wealthy Rogues to appear.
If you go for ONLY mastery, however, I’m totally baffled that Eastern Sea-6 is clearly ahead of the others. It’s also very nice if you go for mastery and snouts, with a higher focus on mastery. Additionally, this is the go-to place for Rainbow Shells, which are valuable for enchanting; and Wealthy Rogues have a chance to spawn.
Mouth Pool is decent for snouts but really bad for mastery. Auto-play didn’t always catch the Necromancer before he ran away from the wave which made me miss 10 snouts. (Maybe stronger birds would do the difference – but not everyone is a powerhouse.) Plus it takes very long – I wouldn’t visit it regularly. Despite the 5 snouts and potion ingredients you can get at the end.
*phew* This Yoshi got another job done.
