Heeeeee's the one, who completes all our silly quests, And he likes to save Azeroth, and he likes to shoot his spells, But he doesn't read the quest text, No he doesn't read the quest text.
The quest text is a reference to how bad drop rates were "back in the day." Black dragon scales were mats for crafted Molten Core hunter gear (among other things). Pretty poor drop rates. I'm thinking the phoenix feather is a reference to the Ashes of Al'ar.

Rewards13g 74s, 4,800 XP
Description
It is customary for new recruits to be sent on a difficult or sometimes impossible task. I was sent to obtain a black dragon's scale; last year's instructors demanded a feather from a phoenix. Your lot has it relatively easy. Find me a handful of flame blossoms. They grow around here in relative abundance. Oh, right. There will be a gigantic core hound roaming the fields to keep things interesting. Do your best to avoid him.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Trial By Fire
I'd love to say that with the tides turning against us in Hyjal, every recruit helps our cause and so on... but to be perfectly blunt, most of you are nothing but a burden. If I had a copper for every peasant who got too scared when the cataclysm hit and now wishes to join our side...
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Waste of Flesh
Look at these fools. Half of them won't even make it past this trial. They are not worthy of ascending into our inner circles. But perhaps... perhaps they are worthy of menial service. Take this gem and utilize its power to save some of the less competent supplicants.
