Just did this on a level 31 Sub rogue. The Thistlefur Warriors seem to put out a fairly disproportionate amount of damage - compared with the rest of what I've fought in Ashenvale so far.

Still the case after 9.0. Things hit way harder than other mobs in the area.
Tried to do this today with a level 39 fury warrior, Chromie Time'd to cata. Yeah it's bizarre, I died multiple times doing this quest. Wonder what's up with the tuning on this quest in particular

Description
The moon priestess has a plan to make sure that no further furbolg descend upon us from the highlands. I am more concerned with those that are already at the ruins, some of which are massing just outside of the post. Distasteful as it may be, I must ask that you head north into the Ruins of Ordil'Aran and slay the furbolg. We cannot fight on two fronts! Thank you, {class}.
