EDIT 2: Unfortunately as of 10.2.7's first week, the WQ Rooted in Danger is still bugged.
I'm going to stop reporting now. Just assume that this WQ will remain broken unless said otherwise.
I wouldn't recommend 'grinding' Tour of Duty: Emerald Dream with PvP kills since individual players give very little in honor especially if other players tag it. Your best bet is War Crates. War Within's Warbound features will make getting War Crates easier in the pre-patch with having multiple alts across factions count for the achievement.
Bounties can also work but bounties are usually groups of players farming (so it is tough to snipe a kill) and the bounty kill doesn't matter but looting the bounty bag does.
EDIT: Unfortunately as of 10.2.6's first week, the WQ Rooted in Danger is still bugged. Let's check back in 10.2.7.
As of 10.2.5's first week Wednesday, the WQ Rooted in Danger is still bugged and giving 1 [currency=1792] instead of 50 like the other PvP WQs for their respective zones (Conjuring Elements, How to Train a Proto-Drake, Quacks and Attacks, Wild Arcana and Extermination).
If you care about Tour of Duty: Emerald Dream, then you'll have to do it the old fashioned way, either with Bounties (which do not work for same faction bounties, it must be opposing faction) or War Crates. This depending on the Shard might be far more difficult.
I'll check back on 10.2.6, and if it is still bugged then 10.2.7.If not, then War Within Pre-Patch 11.0.0 is bringing War Bands, see the Deep Dive Panel, which means that multiple characters can contribute towards the overall total of Tour of Duty: Emerald Dream. You can choose your faction, toons and type to help make this achievement easier.

Another fun PVP quest. Yay!
What's with the horrible respawn rate?
Still bugged as of today and only rewarding 1 honor. If you're lucky you might get a war crate. (realm dependant) They are still awarding the correct honor.
