TheWoWDBA rune forge at 39, 40 of the Maw is a nice place to rescue these souls. There, the souls and Stone Prisons respawn quickly, with minimal hostile mobs. You can camp between the forge's east and west side to collect the souls without losing an arm and a leg. This location is right next to the round platform that [npc=157833] respawns.
The quest is a bit too difficult and too dangerous. Players often have to risk a lot of Stygia roaming in the Maw, looking for the souls. Moreover, the souls are usually guarded by hostile mobs. So, please, Daddy Blizz, do not nerf any further the respawn rate of the souls or Stone Prisons.

20 Souls - 32+ [currency=1822]See My Video if need it - https://youtu.be/DIfkOboldJo
Hope that help You :).
Somehow my newly dinged DK had this quest and the intro one (Return Lost Souls -- where you only collect x5) at the same time. Once I hit the required x5 souls for the intro quest, the counter for this one stopped advancing until I turned in the intro quest.
So don't make the same mistake I did thinking you are still collecting souls for this quest. I did not realize it at first until a little bit into it after looking at the counter not advancing.

Description
Maw Walker, I'm sure you've seen first hand the souls that continue to pour into the Maw. We must act now to cut off the Jailer's power, denying him as many souls as possible. That power belongs to the Necrolords. I shall direct your efforts to save these souls, and help find them a place among the armies of Maldraxxus. Return to the Maw and rescue those that you can.
