If you're wondering why you're stuck in combat after killing Urthracx, it's because the stone objects surrounding his spawn point apparently can be "damaged" and aggroed by AoE abilities. The stone objects are used for the Paladin-only variant of this world quest (which requires Paladins to click on them and kill Urthracx), but that doesn't explain why on earth they're treated as something that can take damage and aggro on you.
Dammit I thought I was playing WoW, not pinball...
