Only took about 20 seconds on my iLevel 853 BM hunter. I expected a little more of a fight, as the quest said it's recommended for 3 players. So don't stress about going solo, pop a few CDs and you should be sweet.
[npc=116068] it's an elite mechanical guard located at 47.6 49.4 point. Guard has 10+ mil hp and can cast desintegrate spell. If you can tank some damage well (or awesome burst damage) you can easy solo it, just avoid the beam.

Charged Construct's Finger, 20g 22s, 6,150 XPDescription
The insurgents you marshaled gave me some bad news, {name}. The arcanists loyal to Elisande have reactivated the Arm of the Magistrix. The most powerful construct ever attempted, it raged out of control and decimated an entire district before it was disabled. Truly they must be desperate to turn it against us. The scouts have spotted it in the Crimson Thicket to the north. We cannot allow it to reach full power if we are to succeed.

- Shield, Meet Spell
There you have it, one arcane nullifier! Using their weapon and magical signatures to cloak the spell, it should tear apart the shield as good as any spellbreaker would. Go teach that amateur spellslinger what it means to wage war against the sin'dorei!
