I've heard this term a few times.
Is it really viable ? I can pull lvl 2 agent missions... but all i've seen is Veldspar roids.

In some missions, at least at level 4, there are omber roids to pick at. When "omber roids" amounts to 700,000 units of the stuff, it's worth doing.

What mission should I pay attention to the roids for? I always have them off overview while I pwn the npcs. I would recognize the mission name tho, and know to mine it.

In "Portal of War" (lvl 2 mission)
There is a 88k roid of Omber.
The bigger Omber is in the Lvl 3 missions.
I farmed it in the past, the bonus for doing the mission fast was only 200k. Over 4 days I got 352k Omber, 390k ISK from the gun towers and some pretty good loot from the ships in the mission (Alb heavy, barton cap, X3200 heavy, plus more).
I have a few agents in the same area, so I ran missions for them while I farmed this mission.

I concur, Downing the Slavers (The Rogue Slave Trader 2/2) is the most profitable, with a worth in the 25M-30M.
It however takes a long time to mine, even with a Domi w/ 6 x Miner IIs. So make it a corp event or get your friends with covetors/hulks. 
More profitable is Infiltrated Outposts L4, where "mining" (i.e. blowing up drones) nets you around 3000 units of Zyd.

And don't forget the fact that the roids respawn every day after Downtime. With Downing the Slavers, just don't clear the 2nd room until you're totally done mining. You get the mission for 7 days, so you can easily make 200m with it. :-p

A Case Of Kidnapping Important Storyline - Encounter
This is a lvl 2 I think, has 2 80k and 1 30k omber roids in the second to last room. It's nice to have a private spot for a bit.

Unless you have a decked out mining ship it seems like mining is far slower than simply running more missions. You can make 5 mill/hour running level 3's without breaking a sweat, not counting LP's which nearly double this. From my calculations, mining omber isn't even close to this profit level... so why waste time with it?

Because when you have 3 or 4 retrivers and a hauler work that feild, its a lot faster. If you have just 1 ship working it, you're time may be better spent mission running.

But if those 3-4 players were just running missions themselves they'd make far more money as well... so I still don't get it.
Unless you're saying one person with 3-4 accounts or some such... in which case it seems like a pretty pointless excersize for most people.

Nothing wrong with sicking your other accounts and maybe those of other corp members against those pebbles, especially if the roids happen to sit right where you need the minerals anyway.
They would not run L4 combat missions on their own in that time anyway, and moving the ore from the hold to the can every couple of miutes doesn't disrupt running missions, hauling goods, gating camps, ... on the main accounts.

Tech Secrets 1 has an Omber 'roid which fills a little more than a jet can- 30k m3, I think.
Oops. Just saw that this has been said already.

I still don't understand why anyone would spend time mining these unless they have multiple accounts that they couldn't run missions with at the same time, but they can pull off mining.
Why would 4-5 players all mine omber from a vein instead of each just running missions? Even running level 3's is far more isk/hour and noobs can get up to level 3 missions in 2 weeks or less easily. It seems like a waste of time to mine omber... unless you intend to only play as a miner and are just using it as a stepping stone to make money. But even in this case it seems easier to get a simple combat ship setup with 1 mil in combat skills to do level 3's (which are easily done with that many).
Mining omber is simply time in-efficient with a single account... 5 players with single accounts doesn't make it more efficient, they could each be making more money individually. So please explain, why would any single account player spend time doing this instead of grabbing more missions?

I jetcan mine from Rogue Slavers while doing homework since I only have to dump every couple minutes. Dunno why I'd do it if I had the choice of actually playing. That's all I got.

Shadarles...I guess you've not seen a Hulk mining omber with t2 crystals and ++ mining implants/bonuses up the yingyang. Makes short work of the 400k omber in downing the slavers.
I just call in nearby corpmates when I have this mission....we clean it out and go back to regular business. I keep the mission open for a few days and we all make some nice cash/isogen.

Ok, so a ship you need months worth of skills to fly can make you decent money mining? But if you have spent that much time training skills you could just do level 4's instead of 3's and make 10+ mill/hour or far more (ive not yet done level 4's so not sure, but it must be twice as profitable as level 3's, right?).
The best I could come up with was 1 mill/hour mining omber from what I recall... tho I'm sure you could easily raise that to 2mill or even 3 mill/hour with better ships/etc.
How much omber can you mine/hour with a hulk?

Also, doesn't a hulk with all that stuff cost close to a billion isk? On top of that, why would you spend a billion ISK to mine omber? Wouldn't it be far more profitable to mine rare minerals?

Hmmm..........hulk mining in 0.0 and getting shot at, or in empire, safe in deadspace. either is profitable, but the risk vs reward modifier is very different.

The original argument was that hulk mining was ultra-profitable on omber... not that people like to mine.
If you just like mining, fine... but it doesn't mean it's more efficient to mine omber than run missions.
