TheWoWDBBeware: The guys you have to kill for this quest do a ridiculous amount of damage (1,000 - 5,000) for a level 88 and they have 12k health. Do not pull more than one or else you're dead.

I'm getting my ass kicked doing this on my Fire Mage on MoP Remix. I don't know why, but these guys chunk almost half of my health with some of their hits. Seems like they didn't tune these mobs properly.

Description
Now that we have had time to assess our enemies' weaknesses, it is time for us to deal the yaungol a direct blow. Go and confront the Osul Sharphorn up the mesa to the west. Let them know that we are here, and that we are not scared of their threats.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- A Foot in the Door
<Lord Taran immediately pins you down with his steely gaze.> <class>, you bear the marks of many a past battle. Good! We need more seasoned people like you to hold back the front. We've managed to secure a foothold here, but the yaungol are desperate to remove our presence.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Running Rampant
There is one thing that every army needs, and that is a supply line. The enemy camp to the west contains a large beast herd, which serves as the yaungol army's main source of food. Luckily for us, the yaks and mushan beasts of this region are easily scared.
