TheWoWDBI'm gonna have to agree with both of the above posts.
Low drop rate + few mobs that are spread out = not fun.
Thought they were getting rid of quests like this = /

The drop rate of the chunks seems incredibly low, just killed over 40 of the Hyenas and only got 2 chunks. Not a very fun quest ):
Drop rate for this quest and Gazer Tag is craptacular. The mobs are too far apart also.

What to do
Description
I've got an idea, but we're going to need bait. The other day I saw a rabid blisterpaw hyena wander too close to the edge of the chasm, and one of the silithid comes diving out of nowhere. Nearly swallowed it whole! Horrible sight. So we're gonna need hyena meat, obviously. Go gather some, make sure it's fresh, and bring it back here. There should be plenty just north of the camp.
Where to go
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.
- Cutting Losses
I've spent the last week starin' at this ugly pit trying to think of how to exploit a bunch of dangerous, violent arthropods for profit. Now I'm out of ideas, and starving. These things are a wash, and I say it's time to start clearing them out. Head down into that pit and start killin' bugs.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- A Great Idea
Now that we've got a good pile of fresh chunks, we just tie it to this rope...and now you're ready to go catch me a silithid. What? Don't give me that look, it's perfectly safe. Well, mostly safe. Okay, you might die painfully. But it'll be easy!
