The quickest way I found to do this, as demonology, was drain life. It would work for the other specs but not sure if it is the fastest. The quest is about doing damage to enemies and not killing them. So with each tick of drain life you remove 1 from your meter. With just drain life and pet on passive everything died quickly from the fel balls that fire each tick.

By far easiest and quickest way to complete this quest is to drop a Sturdy Love Fool and go to town. Complete in under a minute.
Turnip Punching bag also works to help drain the energy and is easier to obtain outside of the holiday.

Description
Soon Kanrethad's banishment will fade, and he will return to our world. We must keep him, and his power, out of the Legion's hands at any cost. If my old friend is still in there somewhere, perhaps we can bring him back. The crystals you recovered feed on fel energy. We can use the ravenous crystals to siphon away the magic that consumes Kanrethad. But first, their power must be depleted. To do so, you will need to harness the power of the crystals and use their energy to kill demons.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Stealing the Source of Power
My prisoner is a chatty one, <name>. He tells me that the Cult of the Green Flame is harnessing fel energy to fuel their efforts of bringing Kanrethad back from banishment. Within their compound they are powering fel crystals that can hold a great amount of fel magic.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Informing the Council
I'll deal with this prisoner, but you should head back to Dreadscar Rift. Let the others know what we've discovered. We will need their help dealing with Kanrethad on the Broken Shore.
