TheWoWDBJust incase anyone thought the same as I did: As a high level character, you do not have to do slow dps to beat it out of them. You can just one shot them with any spell and the siege engineers will give you the information upon death.

I "found" Gidwinn's captor here
http://www.wowhead.com/maps?data=139:559168
All I did was go to that spot, then while I was trying to figure out where he was, I killed one more skeleton, then bam I got the quest.
This quest has Progress text too, and the skeletons say stuff as you defeat them:
Fiona: I wish I could join you, but I'm not much for fighting. I've protected Gidwin as much as I could... he needs you to protect him now, <name>.Scourge Siege Engineer says: I will tell you nothing, <race>-pig!
Scourge Siege Engineer says: I do not fear death at your hands, <race>!
Scourge Siege Engineer says: The dwarf belongs to our kind now, not yours!
Scourge Siege Engineer says: She will never return the dwarf to you!
Scourge Siege Engineer says: The Plaguewood is too big! Your friend is gone! You will never find him!
Scourge Siege Engineer says: Foolish <race>! You seek the dwarf? Baroness Anastari has hidden him well!

Description
We paladins are normally taught to exercise judgment and control when dealing with foes, but this is an emergency, and I never paid too much attention to my trainers anyhow. I'm going to head into the Plaguewood and find out what I can about Giddy. You deal with the Scourge just to our northeast, on the other side of this tower. The undead don't fear death, but if you beat them enough, their tongues might slip, and we may get some clues to Gidwin's location.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Nobody to Blame but Myself
This is my fault. I... I ignored his warnings, his complaints, everything. I couldn't help myself - I saw those Scourge just beyond the tower, and I... I HAD to go kill them. Argus says that Gidwin was taken northwest, and that's our only lead, so that's where we'll head.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Blind Fury
Tarenar wasn't joking when he said that he didn't care about judgment and caution. He nearly took off that high elf's head as he ran into the Plaguewood, looking for Gidwin. You should go after him. The Plaguewood is a big place, <name>. Good luck.
