TheWoWDBGorthak is lvl 22, with 702 life.
I only saw 4 hostiles near him , 2 x lvl 20 shamans and 2 x lvl 19 grunts, as the 5th guy, a lvl 25 blood elf was not "active", meaning I could not engage him.

The highest voted Wowhead comments for this page. They are community notes, not TheWoWDB comments.
As of 4.0.3, Gorthak (90.9, 58.1) is in a room in the center of Kargathia Keep, the large building on the east side of the camp. There are 5 other hostile mobs in the room; stealth if you've got it, or just hug the wall, and go to the NPC directly behind Gorthak. Attacking that NPC should pull Gorthak to you without aggro'ing the others.

Starwhisper Monnions, Woodguard Vest, Starwhisper Spaulders, 10g 50s, 4,100 XPDescription
The Warsong Lumber Camp is a blight upon an embattled landscape. Every time we make progress in halting their operations, Overseer Gorthak orders his loggers to redouble their efforts! Now, the orcs are cutting more wood than they can possibly use, leaving it to rot while their blades bite into fresh trees! This is an affront to all we stand for, {name}, and we will show them that we'll not suffer further destruction of our lands! Go, and do not rest until Overseer Gorthak and his minions are dead!

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Reclaiming Felfire Hill
Little one, to the southwest is an area of Nightsong Woods that has in recent times come to be called Felfire Hill. It is very sad to see the demons crawling over it, spreading their corruption. Would you do something to help take back the land?
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Recover the Remains
While what the satyrs have done to the trees is horrible, nothing compares to the mass slaughter that the orcs have been engaging in!
