A strong tip for those doing this quest. This has got to be the most respawn heavy quest areas with hard hitting mobs and a lot of them attacking you at the same time. Strongly advise using your dragon to fly to where the 4 Enraged Cliffs are at otherwise you're going to get overwhelmed by the smally flayers in the area leading up to them. They respawn rather fast (literally will spawn while you're fighting the next group) and they hit fairly hard too. The Enraged Cliffs themselves have a good chunk of HP (at lvl 61 doing the quest they had roughly 120k HP each) along with both stuns and spells that toss you up in the air BOTH with relatively short CDs too.
If you don't have a class that has a slow fall ability (i.e.: Mage, Priest), invest in Goblin Glider Kit; they've saved my bacon a time or two.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Primary Threat
There are far too many vulnerable eggs to secure. If the enemy breaks through, all is lost! I am sure our guards are mustering on the field to push them back. Speak to Commander Lethanak, and he will use your strength where it will be most helpful.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Egg Evac
The Primalists have stolen our eggs for their perverse rituals! They must be stopped. Help us recover our eggs before it is too late. Mark each egg as you find them, <name>. I will ensure they are safely extracted from the area.
