Is this quest bugged? or has The War Within scaling just completely broken any semblance of reason for these mobs?

I got this quest at 50 on my Night Elf warrior, waited until 71 to complete it and most mobs are hitting me for 30-40% of my hp every other hit, some of the bigger demons can do 60,000 dmg with one of their attacks.

heck, even one of the warlocks imps managed to kill me with a single fireball doing almost half my hp in damage.

Extremely frustrating to say the least...

    I can't believe how much Nari has been through. This perversion of our history, our culture... my family... <Lysander glances at his sister.> These demons came in here from somewhere. I'm certain the source of their invasion lies in the depths of our barrow den. You and I can put a stop to it.
