TheWoWDBThis may be one of the most annoying dailies I've done in awhile. The NPC accompanying you (or at least, Protector Yi) will pull EVERY mob in sight, there are constant patrols that will walk close enough for the NPC to grab them, and the respawn rate is ridiculously quick here.
Be prepared for massive pulls. You may want to even dismiss the NPC.

Don't bother going out of your way to track down a [npc=62844]. You will end up pulling at least one when you go after the [npc=62677]s, whether you want to or not.
Warlock82 is correct. Furthermore, the shadow crash ability that the deadtalkers do targets people from 100+ yards away, even when they aren't in combat. If you don't dodge it, you're pulled into combat...makes it almost impossible to mount up when you're done. Your companion will leave almost immediately to go bash on someone else's spawns, too, so...fun times. I recommend you do this one last and just run back to the garrison when you're done with it.

Description
We have always left the Deadtalkers alone. For so long, they were just responsible for maintaining the sacred burial grounds of the yaungol tribes. Now, though, they are practicing dark magic, defiling the corpses of their former clanmates... I know not where they learned those dark magics, or why they no longer treat their dead with respect, but we do not have time to find out. We need to stop them.
