TheWoWDBOn Ally side this quest is indeed bugged got also the message " you can't do that yet", i tried to kill them the normal way, this did not do the trick for me.
After that, i found out i needed to unwear the mask and put it on again, that did the trick for me.
So my guess is, that it got bugged, once you held on the mask accepting the quest, something like that.

The highest voted Wowhead comments for this page. They are community notes, not TheWoWDB comments.
This quest becomes available while you do the quest "I am the law and I am the lash" which is given to you by General Thorg'izog. Abuse of Power is the "beginning" of the quest chain needed to get the Tiny Flamefly pet but in reality you must start many steps prior. The actual beginning of the chain that allows you to take Abuse of Power is at John J. Keeshan, at (17.28, 52.04) Flamestar Post in Burning Steppes. You must do all the quests available at Flamestar, then move with Keeshan to Chiselgrip and do all the quests there, which will finally send you to talk to Thorg'izog. The entire chain took me a couple of very enjoyable hours at level 80.
Also - this area is a miner's paradise! In the time I spent on these quests I gained over 80 mithril and 10 gold ore as a nice bonus to my flamefly.

Description
{name}? Troteman here. It sounds like you have earned Thorg'izog's trust, and he's assigned you to discipline duty. This is fortunate. We need you to take out his sergeants. You'll find them on wolfback, outside of the Blackrock Stronghold in the Fields of Honor. Use that cudgel on them, several times, until they die. You'll have to act fast, because if they realize you're not one of them, they can unmask you. Strike quickly and ferociously, {name}. Troteman out.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Trial by Magma
I suppose I'll make the most of this situation. These goblin mercenaries brought this enormous fire elemental to my stronghold as a "thank you" for hiring them. What am I going to do with an elemental here in the steppes? That's like bringing sand to the beach.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Enough Damage For One Day
We do not have any further strategic need for Thorg'izog or the Blackrock ground troops. We must continue to the next phase of the plan. When you are finished at the stronghold, return to us here in Chiselgrip.
