TheWoWDBThe mobs that you impale with the blades aren't actually mobs that you have to kill. There are dead skeletons, "slain scourge troopers", all over the ground that you get a cog wheel for when you click on them.

You have to do a lot of the Fiona's Caravan quests to unlock this one.
If you're quick, you can actually click multiple times on the slain undead and get more than one tick towards completion.

Description
The Noxious Glade is a quagmire, both literally and figuratively. There's enough Scourge up there to give us trouble for the rest of both of our lifetimes. They can re-animate the weaker ones when they die, {name}. They will never stop coming if we don't do something. Take these blades and drive them through the corpses of any Scourge troopers you find. The blade is simple, but its enchantment will prevent the dead bones from being reanimated. Forever.
