Note, you do not have to be the one to tag the mobs in order to get credit. Just drop your totem near any of these things when they die.
I had the same problem, until I discovered that I might be killing them to quickly. I tried slowing down my dps and let the totem drain a bit more, and that seem to fixed the problem.

Description
You must take my totem down into the Scalding Chasm. Use it to capture the energies of the faceless as they die. The totem will keep them from returning from whence they came. When the totem is full, bring it back to me and we will use it to lure their leader up from deep down below.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Put It On
I've got an idea for a sweet disguise, but I'm going to need your help, <name>! Take one of these merciless corpses and put it on your head. I know, I know, but it's dead, so what could possibly go wrong other than you smelling bad for a day or two? Ready to put it on?
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Scalding Shrooms
We think that we have a use for the merciless ones that your friend from the cave delivered to us. But I need a preservative for it. Down below in the Scalding Chasm are some mushrooms with the properties that I need. Bring some back up to me and I'll see what I can do.
