Use the beam until the minions spawn, then focus on taking them out using normal attacks, eg corruption and immolate for a warlock. The npcs will easily defeat Crushcog, and as a lvl 5 warlock I found the minions went down easily provided I just cursed them. Use corruption first, as it's instant cast, then immolate.

Description
Our cousins, the dwarves of Ironforge, have agreed to help us in the battle against Razlo Crushcog. Mountaineer Stonegrind is a veteran who knows Dun Morogh well. He and High Tinker Mekkatorque stand ready on a small snow-covered island in Iceflow Lake to the north. Meet up with them there and let the high tinker know when you are ready to face the traitor Crushcog. Take this orbital targeting device and use it during the battle. It will help guide the high tinker's special weapons.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Paint it Black
We have reliable intelligence that Razlo Crushcog has taken up a defensive position on the island in the middle of frozen Iceflow Lake. To make matters worse, he's surrounded himself with a network of sentry-bots that will detect any possible attackers.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- On to Kharanos
Some of the mountaineers under Stonegrind's command were telling me about the situation out at Kharanos. When the troggs took over Frostmane Hold, it sounds like the surviving trolls fled westward, deep into the heart of the dwarven homeland. Now, they threaten the dwarven town of Kharanos.
The storyline at a glance
Gnomeregan has 37 steps, from Pinned Down to On to Kharanos.
