In addition, you can actually hook the Servants while on your flying mount, which makes the quest quite easy.
Use the Elementium Grapple Line on a Servant of Therazane then run away from it to knock it down. Once it has toppled, finish killing it.

What to do
Description
We're fortunate dat those giants be havin' such bad aim. Luck is sure to be favorin' dem eventually though. We need to get dem off da battlefield, but I don't tink takin' dem head on would be very smart. Take dis grapplin' line, get a good hold on one of their ankles and pull their legs out from under dem. Once dey are on da ground, dey should be easy ta be finishin' off.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Core of Our Troubles
Elementals are chaotic by nature, but dis kind of organized aggression is out of character. More so down here where dere deaths be a bit more permanent. I suspect dis is Therazane the Stonemother's doin', but I have to be sure. Destroy da Irestone Rumblers and bring me their cores.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Imposing Confrontation
Have ya seen the looming giant in the distance to the northeast? Dat is Boden the Imposing, one of Therazane the Stonemother's Stone Lords. We be knowin' little of da Stone Lords, but Boden is not known ta be very level-headed.
