Hands down, one of the best quests in WoW ever. Period.

I had some trouble completing this quest. Hopefully my instructions will help anyone else having this problem:
When you are turned into the Prince; You need to target the Armies of Lore(can't remember the rest). They are the guys in Yellow.
What I did was stand on the wooden plank like podium, target the closest one and use the #1 button. As soon as they died, I hit #3 which gives you a green circle. Hover over the ones you just killed to turn them into your minions.
Use #4 as soon as your mana gets to half (usually one combo of 1 &3) to sustain your health and your mana.
Rinse and repeat until done. If you need to leave the stand to get to those further away, remember DO NOT exit (red arrow to the right of the new bar you get) until you are back on that stand as you will be back in the middle of a bunch of mobs.
If you die during this, just talk to the quest giver; he'll put you right back as the prince.

Description

You probably think you're quite strong -- fighting these undead and crushing their bones beneath your war machines. That is nothing compared to the strength it took to create them. I saw the prince do it himself. I can show you how it happened... if you'd like.

Where to go

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

Do Your WorstIcecrown · Level 25-30
You're going to use this machine against the Scourge? You're not going to win against them like that. You can destroy hundreds... even thousands of them. But you won't win. Not out here. When you're done playing with your machine, meet me to the north. There is an old army encampment.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

FutilityIcecrown · Level 25-30
Do you see now? Sending your men against the prince's armies just swells their numbers. I don't expect you to understand... you'll probably just end up like the others. You'd best return to whoever sent you. They might be worried.
