Level 81, non-elite -- he goes right down.
When you talk to Gromm'ko in the cave, a pet will spawn and attack his pet. His pet loses and Gromm'ko turns hostile. Then you can take him down.
As you enter Seat of the Chosen, he's in the house on the left. It's not a cave.

Description
I don't know if you've picked up on this, but there's a bit of a rivalry between the ogre members of the Twilight's Hammer and the rest of us. For me... it's personal. This one ogre called Gromm'ko has a pet raptor named "Butcher." He's taken out the last three of my corehound pups. I think this last one will fare differently. He's got a real killer's instinct. Go to the Seat of the Chosen and challenge Gromm'ko to a match between our two beasts. Humiliate him for me, {name}damus.

Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- A Champion's Collar
This little guy is a true menace now, isn't he? We're going to have to give him a nice spiked collar if he's going to be a fighting pup. The basilisk matriarch has made her lair off of the road to Winterspring. Bring me her spiked hide and we'll fashion a collar for our little killer here.

It's me, <name>, Ortell! Don't look directly at the outhouse... you'll give away my position. Everything's going according to plan then? Excellent! I'm going to need you to obtain some intelligence while you're here.
