TheWoWDBBasic mob rundown:
Scouts are the Gargoyles. They attack with a "Necrocution" attack that does ~80 damage with 3 stacks of Defend, and removes one stack. 2 Shield-Breakers (or one Charge if they're close enough to the ground) is enough to kill them.
Footmen are the Skeletons. Without a doubt the eaisest things to kill in the entire game; all you have to do is run through them (literally; just run through and they drop dead(er)). Even Critters have to be attacked; these guys practically give you the credits.
Lieutenants look like a mounted Death Knight. These guys are actually a threat compared to the others. Fortunately (or unfortunately to some), they're little more than a Scourge version of the people you're fighting at the tournament grounds. Break their shields and open up with Charge and Thrust to finish them (they're kinda close together; be careful not to aggro more than one!). Also, each one is surrounded by 3-4 Footmen.
Tips:
*The Footmen can be ignored; you can just trample them to kill them, and the little dumb!@#$s pretty much throw themselves under your hooves.
*Try to fight the Lieutenants away from their spawn points; one is relatively easy, but 2 will quickly rip you apart. I'd advise fighting them in the areas where the Scouts spawn, after you've cleared a space; a Scout spamming its spell and ripping through your shields is just as dangerous as having more than one Liutenant on you.
*If you can, grab a freshly-spawned Lieutenant (the ones with the single, red Defend charge), Shield-Breaker, then Charge; Charge on a Defense-free guy will knock off over half his health.
*Help other people doing the quest, regardless of their faction! If you see one getting raped by 2 Lieutenants, grab one of them (preferably the un-tapped one =D) so they don't get slaughtered. Help them speed up killing one, and maybe they'll do the same for you.Edit: Not really related, but... what if a set of quests like this one (and its other-faction counterparts) was added, only it was with flying mounts?

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.
