The best way to do this quest is to go clockwise along the major road. As a 68 Shaman I soloed it by popping my fire elemental and taking one down. First mob dropped it. They move counter-clockwise and come as a group of four (possibly five, was a bit rushed). If you can CC a few you're fine. Melle classes should group up for it.
kill them near 63,33 and if you wanna do a "suicide" kill (just kill one, die, rez, loot) you'll spawn at the graveyard nearby!
DPS warr - charged in, recklessness, burned down 2, died, rezzed at the nearby graveyard and looted the truncheon

Description
One by one they knelt before him, offering their lives as a show of allegiance. Gorefiend hoisted his sickle and cut clean their heads. Shortly after this slaughter, Gorefiend took his own life. But this was no act of contrition! No, Gorefiend sought immortality! From the corpses of the fallen death knights rose the Ghostriders of Karabor. They now ride the roads encircling the Hand of Guldan, awaiting the day that their master returns. It is they who hold the truncheon of Gorefiend. Retrieve it...

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Divination: Gorefiend's Cloak
Many a cruel act he committed but none so cold as the slaughter of the clerics of Karabor. After Gul'dan's Horde defeated the draenei of Karabor, the surviving clerics of Karabor were marched out, told that they were to be taken to Hellfire Citadel as prisoners of war.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Teron Gorefiend, I am...
With Gorefiend's items restored, there is but one last piece to this puzzle: A host. <The ancient shadowmoon spirit's lips curl up to form a wicked grin.> Surely you did not believe the fairy tale that I told you. The Altar of Shadows is my prison.
