TheWoWDBAfter seeing all the skeletons around him I decided to check out this site before attempting him. He is not that easy. He is a caster and has three abilities. He summons two icy orbs. He used this ability twice during the fight. The icy orbs do lots of damage (around 500 each every half a second) so pop defensive cooldowns and kill them fast. They have around 16k HP each and die very quickly. He also casts blizzard (he did this once during the fight). It ticked for 12k a second on a Lvl 90 hunter. Just move out of the blizzard circle on the ground. He also casts frostbolts as filler that did about 10k damage. He insta-dies at around 37%.
TLDR: Kill the icy orbs that he summons. Stay out of blizzard.

One thing to note is that he will die once he reaches 33% health.
He's on the ridge above you, circle to the west and you'll see a path up to the target.

Description
My fate is sealed. The yaungol put this spear in my side. The wound will kill me. The yaungol hold me in place with their twisted, corrupted magic. The indignity of it hurts worse than my spear-wound. My death, I cannot stop. My imprisonment... you may be able to help me with this.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Point of No Return
One of our rangers reported seeing Suna up the hill to the northwest. I am relieved to find her safe. I had feared what she would do in her grief. Would you go speak to her on my behalf? Take this totem with you. If you encounter any danger along the way, you may find it useful.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Torches
Until recently, the yaungol shaman would come here to work alongside us. Now, they bend my people to their will. If we refuse, they kill us. Even if we oblige... they kill us. The yaungol mist-shaman's magic flows through his torch. Take his torch away, and he has nothing.
