As of 6.0 at level 100 this quest (in my experience) is unable to be completed as you will one shot all of the mobs even with rez sickness & no gear. The same can be said for the quest Human Infestation.

However, for those of you after Loremaster, there are still enough quests in the zone skipping this one and the other to get you your achievement for Hillsbrad.

Description

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. SI:7 are comprised solely of humans - humans that we are able to use to our benefit. Take my mirror and travel north. Engage in combat with the SI:7 and bring them near death. Once they are injured, use the mirror.
