Just because you CAN do a quest alone, doesn't mean you HAVE to. Grouping up helps with killing the Commanders, but it also helps with just completing the quest. If there are 5 separate people, they have to wait for a total of 25 lieutenants to spawn, and try to beat the other guys out on tagging them first. If they all form one group, you just need to kill 5 lieutenants, don't have to try to get in a "fast first shot" and can go around and pick off the scouts that are pestering everybody else.
Pro tip: grouping does not give you cooties.

Just a tip in case you make the same mistake I did: make sure you're trying to take down the Lieutenants (who have only one shield), not the Commanders (with three shields). I didn't notice they were two different units, and was practically tearing my hair out trying to figure out how to take one down. The Lieutenants go down easy.

Description
Even as we ready for the tournament, Argent Crusade forces prepare the way for an assault on the enemy's stronghold of Icecrown Citadel. In the Court of Bones in southwestern Icecrown, a few brave crusaders have set up a forward camp on the southern side of Corp'rethar. Equip your lance and mount the stabled campaign charger at the camp, then destroy the Lich King's minions. Do not fear the masses of boneguard footmen, {name}, for they can easily be trampled under your horse's hooves.
