They just love to make it impossible for solo players. Oh well.

People have learnt this boss is skippable. If you are on this quest you'll need to find a non-LFG group. Thanks Blizzard.
Not silly at all. Grouping, like PvP, should always be optional, not forced. If you wanna be grouped all the time, that's yer option. If you wanna solo, you should be able to.

Description
Oh yes, I've seen me fair share of demons while in dese lands. And skinnin' dem ain't no easy task. Their hides are tougher than normal animals, fibrous, see? But if you be wantin' to make da most of their skins, den ya need to be practicin' more. There be a creature I've heard of in da Darkheart Thicket whose hide's as tough as a demon's. When ya go ta skin him, try cutting with da grain in one even stroke. Bring me his skin to show me you be picking up on what I'm sayin'.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- An Unseemly Task
I'm quite impressed with what you've been able to skin in these lands, felhide in particular. But as my knowledge is limited in this area of skinning, I know of one who may have increased his skill in skinning such beasts. You can find my old apprentice, Ske'rit in Suramar.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Emerald Nightmare: The Pestilential Hide of Nythendra
There is one more demon hide to gather... but it isn't that of a demon. It's a dragon. Nythendra, great green dragon, has nearly been eaten up by the Nightmare. Only a master skinner would be able to remove what bits of bug-eaten hide remain on her body. Go on then, <name>.
