TheWoWDBTo my surprise this quest was actually pretty easy when you only use the Extra Button Shield when the Mechanized Lab Assistent yells something, only two moments to watch out for.
1 - Thermal Stress Test in Progress
2 - Explosives Test Initiated
Make sure to push that extra button when you hear/see those warnings. If you just avoid the flamethrower and the bombs for the rest of the fight, you're good to go.
This way i managed it in one try as an arms warrior ilvl 370. (Tbh i first ignored the button most part of the fight and kept dying to Explosive Test Initiated 9 times)

This is ridiculous. I was able to do all other heritage armor quests right after dinging 120 in lvl 200+ gear without any issues. This one is practically impossible.
Way to ruin the fun. Heritage armor quests are supposed to be cosmetic and purely for fun.
Don't forget to use your Extra Action button! The shield effect is channeled; make sure you don't take direct damage or stop channeling. You'll die to the explosions if you stop channeling your shield.

Description
Now that we have the thermoplugs we're ready for our next test of the prototype X-52 Personnel Armor! Unfortunately, my lab assistants have either quit or expired. What a pity! But their loss is your gain, {name}... now YOU get to wear the X-52 Personnel Armor! How exciting! The next test will be conducted by my new mechanized lab assistant. Head over to the main workshop and press the big red button to begin. Don't worry, I'll be giving you directions over the X-52's built in intercom!

A deal's a deal, <name>. Here's the thermoplugs you ordered! Be sure to let that ol' grouch Grapplehammer know that I won't be giving out anymore handouts. If he needs more thermoplugs he'd better be ready to pay up. Anyway, it was a pleasure doing business with you... Now get lost!

The prototype X-52 Personnel Armor is ready for the final test! How are you with loud noises and sudden bursts of concussive energy, <name>? For the final test, we're going to strap you into the X-52 Personnel Armor and have you traverse a minefield!
