After getting extremely frustrated with this, I started keeping track of all the artifacts that I'd made while searching for this. I don't know if it'll help but I'll include the whole list for anyone curious.
Epics:
Crawling Claw
Pendant of Scarab Storm
Ring of the Boy Emperor
Scepter of Azj'Aqir
Commons:
Canopic Jar - 23
Castle of Sand - 37
Cat Status with Emerald Eyes - 54
Engraved Scimitar Hilt - 22
Sketch of a Desert Palace - 37
Soapstone Scarab Necklace - 32
Tiny Oasis Mosaic - 40
I ended up with a total of 249 artifacts before I got the recipe.
I received the recipe on the twenty-third jar.

0/~30. I still feel like there's something I'm missing with my alchemist that keeps it from dropping.

So far opened 10 jars with no luck.
EDIT: Got it in the 11th jar ^^
EDIT 2: Sold 5 mounts and earned over 100k. This recipe has made me rich ingame. So glad I bothered to spend 3 weeks on this!

So, I'm trying to get this for my wife as a birthday present. I only decided 5 days before her birthday however and I'd never leveled Arch, but I was already a max Alch. So far in 5 days I've gotten 5 jars to drop with no success and today's her birthday. I know some people have been doing this for years but I already hate my life after trying for 5 days.
edit: 12 jars, no recipe
edit: 14 jars, no recipe, please kill me now.......

42 jars, I think 140+ total Tol'vir solves.
My wife, not me. IMHO that drop rate is just flat out stupid.

Y'all are going to hate me.
First jar ever gave me a recipe.
It was about the 4-6th artifact I made(*), to get that 1 jar. (guessing about 2 mosaics, and a few other things.)
That jar, and the 4-6 things before it were all made with project help crates.
This was on my lvl 90 dwarf paladin, who already had 600 archeology and was sitting on about 24 crated artifacts. She was retrained to herbalism and alchemy specifically for this grind. It only took about 3 nights of casual play to get her skills above the 500+ ish threshold. I think it took about hmm 6 more archeology sites, so about 30 crates total.
At least I still need to go gather all those mats?
* I probably made about 1 artifact to get the achievement for the race before I retrained to Alchemy, but considering Uldum is on the bottom of freakin' Kalimdor and Bli is alliance, it was probably ONLY one.

I hate you so much.........

Yep, still working on it.
So far, a little over 200 tol vir solves, including 21 canopic jars. No vial.
However, in my effort to get this I have acquired:
Every MOP arch achievement (since I was using crates)
Both Arch titles
The battle tank and crawling claw.
And, since I maxed MOP achievements, been surveying in Kalimdor and got fossilized hatchling, and fossil raptor.
So at least it hasn't been a total waste.
Probably have about 35-40 hours invested so far (excluding leveling the profession)
EDIT: Got it about five minutes after I posted, on jar 23

13 jars and no recipe yet, too far in to give up but I am begging RNGesus for mercy this is a brutal grind.
edit: 17 jars now, still no recipe, resorting to ridiculous rituals like hexing frog's before opening a jar, then having the urge to lay my toon face down in the water with each mummified organ I loot.
edit 2: got it on my 18th jar, got 3 rares including the battle tank mount and 2 BOA's, probably took 20-30 hours total farming mantid digs, that's enough archaeology for me for a while..
