TheWoWDBSoloed this q dying just once on a sort of dry run.
the requierd mobs are in the area that stretches from 51,63 to Crimson Watch at 51,72 (go check this place out if you have flying mount, really scary)
The mobs stand in groups of 3 with 1 spellbinder and 2 soldiers, the soldiers have about 5k hp and are just grass to kill, the spellbinder do hurs somewath, but just out dps it, around 5k hp there also.
The only thing to keep in mind is the Crimson Sigil pack that strokes around in the area, 5 blood elfs on mounts, one on the bird and 4 on horses, the one on bird is a huntertype with arrows hitting for ~1k dmg on clothies
the Giant elites are kite able (atleast for a frost mage) and really easy to kill if you put some effort in it. ~22k hp.

It's actually solo-able, although you would probably want to at least have a flying mount (and stealth doesn't hurt either).
Just choose a quiet spot along a ledge (I'm at 52, 65), watch your CC and pick them off. I died once on a stupid pull when vanish was up. Also, getting spellbinders is kind of a pain because they usually spawn with two soldiers. The soldiers heal, so make sure to intterupt if you can.
You need to use the flare gun to summon the quest giver. If you lost your flare gun, you can get another one from Thane Yoregar. He is standing in front of the Wildhammer Stronghold entrance.

What to do
Description
We're going to need more time, {race}. I'm going to fly further ahead with some of the other wind riders. Hopefully, we can gather some more information. What I need from you now is to clear a path and more importantly, keep their arrows pointed away from us! Call for a wind rider with the Kor'kron flare gun once you have thinned their numbers.

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Path of Conquest
Word has come from my wind riders, <name>. The Eclipsion blood elves are planning something big. They have begun forming their armies at the Path of Conquest, far to the southeast - adjacent to Eclipse Point. I want you to travel to the Path of Conquest and assess the situation.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- When Worlds Collide...
At the southern end of the Path of Conquest, near a stationary caravan, I discovered what looked like a meeting between a giant and a blood elf chancellor. You've probably already noticed the smaller giants on the path as well. Something is just not right about all of this, grunt.
