TheWoWDBI just recently had a bug where Drill Sergeant Magnus was evading everything after being mocked into the fight.
The simple fix is to just stand on the box with him.
Took me way too long to come up with that answer so I figured I'd come on here and I might save someone some pain.

This disguise makes you friendly towards ALL Alliance NPC and maybe players even, I talked to a Stormspike Guard and it said "You are now Hated with the Stormspike Guard" even after this quest I have them in my reptab :D
One of the targets, Captain Crudbeard, remains aggressive. Not sure if it is a bug. However he is apparently a death knight so perhaps this allows him to see through the necromancy based illusion.

Description
For your next mission I want you to travel west to the Headland and infiltrate the Stormpike training grounds. Though there are hundreds of Stormpike trainees there, one of my banshees will disguise you to look like one of the humans captured earlier, allowing you to walk freely among the enemy. Enter the Headland and find the Stormpike instructors. Once found, coerce them into attacking you! When they attack, kill them. With their instructors dead, they will be unable to train more soldiers!

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Decimation
<Melisara's image appears before you.> The Stormpike forward camp sits atop Corrahn's Dagger, west of Sofera's Naze. You must enter the camp and slaughter every dwarf that you see. They must be taught what it means to fear and there is no finer lesson than absolute decimation. No survivors, <name>.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Deception and Trickery
As long as I am by your side the enemy will think of you as one of their own. Your newfound humanity, however, will not allow you to be reckless. If you draw attention to yourself the dwarves will grow suspicious and likely attack! With that said, I have a plan.
