I did it at level 59 as horde.

Steps:
Don't forget to strip naked! (To avoid unnecessary repair costs, you perv...)
Run towards Ragged John
     Get killed by level 85 guard
Resurrect and continue running
             Get killed by level 85 guard
Resurrect, continue running and arrive at Ragged John
                                              Get killed by level 85 guard
Resurrect and try taking the quest as quickly as you can
                                                  Get killed by level 85 guard
Try again, now even faster!
      Get killed by level 85 guard
Use a quest accept macro ... Success!
                        Get killed by level 85 guard
Resurrect as far away from Ragged John as possible (40 yards)
                                                           Get killed by level 85 guard
Resurrect again (80 yards)

Congratulations, you got away successfully. Now go turn in the quest in LBRS, realize it was just a breadcrumb, and bang your head against the wall.
Then do some research on Wowhead, find three similar quests, one of which is available to horde: A Potential Ally
Bang head against wall harder.

I might have exaggerated the number of deaths you have to endure, but it was for the comical effect.

Macro: /click GossipTitleButton1
/click QuestFrameAcceptButton

tl;dr Resurrect on top of quest giver, use macro or addon (e.g.: Carbonite) to accept quest before dying. Or do A Potential Ally instead.

Description

I come with news from Blackrock Spire. We have a new visitor. His name is Acride. He seeks people of strength, people of intelligence, of dexterity. You ought to go to Blackrock Spire and speak with him.

Getting there

Inside the dungeon: Lower Blackrock Spire

This imposing fortress, carved into the fiery core of Blackrock Mountain, represented the might of the Dark Iron clan for centuries. More recently, the black dragon Nefarian and his spawn seized the keep's upper spire and ignited a brutal war against the dwarves.
