This is part of a questline, which is great for tanks gearing up for heroic because one of the final rewards is [item=63745]. It's a longish questline, but well worth doing as this is a really good trinket. It took me about 2 hours to get to the quest that gives this item, I've kept a log of the quests and I hope this post is useful to people considering taking this on. Chains that are marked in Wowhead are grouped together, non-obvious jumps are on the next paragraph.
This post should help people who either found this page and don't know how to get this quest, or who are trying to decide whether to do this questline to get the trinket all us new tanks seem to be after.The Maw of Madness

Pretty good little spot to halt quest progression to farm Embersilk. If you have strong AoE you can gather up 8 at a time. I was getting 5-8 cloth per group.
*EDIT* Forgot, I'm farming with my tailor! Of course I'm getting tons of silk! That said, I have gotten up to 20 tiny treasure boxes and 6 greens here. It's tougher to kill stuff than the trogg area, but that makes it more fun.

Recent events make it even more apparent that holing up here and making sporadic attacks isn't enough to keep our kind safe, much less retake Grim Batol. We need to be more aggressive, we need to strike into their heart. I've agreed to send dragons to the aid of your commanders.

The gates further down the canyon are shut. Our scouting revealed a stone that they carried in chests in their caravans that they used to open the gates. Get down there and look for a chest key on the bodies of the guards.
