TheWoWDBBe careful taking these guys on as a Warrior, as of 12-10-10, killing them does not give you experience, thus will not proc Victory Rush, meaning you cannot regain that massive chunk of health needed between mobs. Given their sheer number they will quickly overwhelm you if you stand in their running paths, and you will end up fighting a whole gang of them. It's best to let your red dragon buddies nearby take them and you just finish them off.

Anyone else think of the dragon egg stealing Thieves from Spyro during this quest?
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

Description
Fragile Twilight invaders litter the redoubt. They're pouring in from somewhere to the west. There can be no mercy offered to them within this hallowed place. Whatever violence grips your moral heart, release it upon them.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- In Defense of the Redoubt
Calen sent word - the Twilight are within the redoubt! If there will ever be a time when you can earn his favor, this is it!
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Far from the Nest
Look... I know you have no reason to be fond of me, just as I'm not terribly fond of you, but I need any help I can get. Our eggs are being stolen by these Twilight invaders. I have no doubt that they want to take them back to Grim Batol to experiment on and pervert. I will NOT let that happen.
