EASIEST workaround for hunters or high lvl toons to complete this:
(Need a mount)
No need to get naked or stable your pet.
Ride directly up to scorpion on your mount, DO NOT dismount.
Let scorpion start attacking you until prompt for totem appears then place it down.
Voila!

Hope this helps, happy questing! =)

Can't seem to do this quest as a lvl 6 troll hunter. I have no pet bar or ability to dismiss the pet until lvl 10, so cannot stop it from killing the scorpion or pulling aggro. I'd have to put it in combat and run away and hope it gets auto dismissed in order to even get this to work, but it kills too damn fast. Ended up dropping the quest and moving on.
