This is a pretty ridiculous quest to expect solo players to complete. You need a group unless you wear plate or have a lot of heals available, or can do uber-damage to knock the waves down fast. Shadow priest will run out of mana trying to stay alive for sure.
Very poorly designed quest and not fun.

Seriously &*!@ this quest!
@#$% whoever designed it!
#$%^ whoever said yeah that should be in the game!
and ^&*! whoever keeps skipping it over for fixing in hotfix roll outs
Yet another incredibly badly designed quest by the overpaid ppl at Blizzard...
My fav was when I had 5 or 6 adds chaining me at once
As near as I can tell you basically have to stay within the yellow circle till the npc is done for your disembodied soul to be rezzed.
Edit: I've done this multiple times now and there seems no rhyme or reason. You'd think the number of mobs that appear would have some relation to something (like the disembodied souls you have), but not as far as I can tell just more RNG garbage. It's also RNG as to what composition of the group shows up. You have to keep the Stitcher alive and stay alive yourself until he says the body is ready.
One thing I can suggest is try and use a [object=369883] if one is nearby. If you're lucky it will last long enough.
Another thing to watch for is if someone has started the event. As near as I can tell if it ends for them it will end for you if you're in the area too.
Good luck doing this as a clothie (especially a shadow priest...). I died 5 or 6 times as an spriest before I was able to finish this.
This current batch of Blizzard designers are just terrible.

Description
Look around us, {name}. Everywhere you turn there are corpses piling up like mountains. These disembodied souls are desperate to return to battle. We will use their fervor to turn the tide. Rally the disembodied souls around the battlefield and bring them to my stitchers at the corpse piles to build them new bodies!
