Faction-tagging of mobs needs to go. It adds nothing to the game and makes quests like this a waste of time.
It's unclear whether or not you need kill-credit on the mobs to get completion.

A World of Warcraft quest in Ardenweald. Facts and objectives from the current retail game data.
The highest voted Wowhead comments for this page. They are community notes, not TheWoWDB comments.
Follow NPC Zarkin and his band around the quest area. They'll periodically stop and engage mobs (which you'll help them kill). Each stop gets you 20% credit, so five stops should complete the quest. I'm not sure what exactly you have to do to get credit for the stop (e.g., just tag? kill? damage?) Also, be careful not to agro the yellow mobs.
Just got credit only once in 5 areas. This bugged &*!@ needs to be fixed or removed from the game.
