TheWoWDBEasy to kite -- keep running up the stairs (rocks), and jump down. On top of the rocks, you have some time to cast some spells; he is slow on the climb..
Stay away from the pulsating sticks he plants.

The main trick is avoiding his Resonating Plate attacks. Every so often he'll drop spikes on the ground that do a pulsing AOE that hit as much as his melee attack.

Description
The second target is a basilisk called Stonefang that lives off the bank of the nearby river. I put a bigger wager on him, so if you can take him out I'll make sure you get a cut. I'll need his jaw to verify the kill. Hurry, before those tauren get him first!

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- A Stack of Racks
So while we're waiting here, maybe you could fetch us up some grub. Them tauren were runnin low on meats, so I'm sure they'd be thankful to have more. I hear that musken ribs are the specialty here.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Put It All on Red
All right, I've got one last beasty to send you after. He's a bit far out, but trust me, it'll be worth it. This one I put a huge wager on! Along the eastern coast swims a great shark the locals call Steelscale. They say his hide is near impenetrable.
