I recommend 1. taking help from a friend or 2. fellow quester or 3. send pet in and let it die while you use quest item or use other class abilities to keep you alive till you use the quest item. I was able to kill all six of them on my 29 hunter. Pet on one, scatter shot on second, kill third. Switch to pet's target, pet changed to another target. So on.

Corrahn's Cloak, Gavin's Pauldrons, Sofera's Belt, 5,150 XPDescription
We must break the fingers of the Stormpike if we are to stop their incursion. <Cromush hands you a small package.> Within this package are four high-yield goblin explosives. You are to infiltrate each of the four fingers - Sofera's Naze, Corrahn's Dagger, the Headland and Gavin's Naze - and plant a goblin pocket-nuke at each. Once you have done that - as well as all that Melisara asks of you - return to me.

So you are to be our savior? Very well then, I will bond myself with you. Through this bond I will be able to see through your eyes and communicate with you in the field. According to the plans you brought to us, the Stormpike have enlisted the aid of SI:7 at Sofera's Naze, to the north.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.

<Melisara's image appears before you.> The Stormpike forward camp sits atop Corrahn's Dagger, west of Sofera's Naze. You must enter the camp and slaughter every dwarf that you see. They must be taught what it means to fear and there is no finer lesson than absolute decimation. No survivors, <name>.
