I've done this on multiple higher level characters to obtain the [item=25608] (Horde) or [item=25603] (Alliance) for xmog. I was surprised by the lack of information out there on how to start and complete this quest chain, so I put together my strategy for others to use.
For Horde:
- The Impotent Leader
- Don't Kill the Fat One: I actually really enjoyed the challenge of this quest as a higher level character. We're always killing things but how often are you told NOT to kill something? To complete this quest at level 100 you must do one of the falling: (a.) The easiest way is to recruit a lower level character to help you beat down [npc=18262] without killing him. You can usually find someone running around the area. Offer to help them kill Ogres if they will help you NOT kill [npc=18262] and it will be a win-win. (b.) Or acquire [item=18588], which can be crafted by engineers, but does not require engineering to use. Purchase one from the AH or you can get 5 as a reward from the quest Shizz Work from the chain beginning with Outland Sucks! in Hellfire Peninsula (don't worry, it's short and easy and there are no other prerequisites other than level). Remove all of your armor so there is nothing to proc or add damage. Run up to [npc=18262], toss an [item=18588] at him which should leave a sliver of health, and you're done!

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Diplomatic Measures
Kilrath sends news of the Boulderfist leader: He is an orc! An ancient orc that passed through the Dark Portal in the time of our fathers and has since returned to his homeland. I wish for you to track down this orc and try to convince him to pull back the Boulderfist ogres.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Vile Idolatry
With our leadership in ruin, we are left open to attacks from all sides. The foul Murkblood tribe could not have picked a better time to attack us! In recent days, we have been subject to no less than 5 assaults from the Broken.
