If you go up to the top and look at the right of where you reach the topfloor, you'll see that the wall is a bit further in then the rest of the room. If you stand in that place, then use the potion and then walk up to them, it'll work. Well it did for me after 17 times running up and down the freaking tower -_-
As stated in the quest text, the quest giver watches over you. Just attack the elites and she will one shot them for you, allowing you to enter the tower.

Description
Helix has got himself holed up inside Klaven Mortwake's old tower. I won't lie to you, {name}, it's heavily guarded. I count six armed mercenaries just on the outside. There's no way you're getting inside that tower by yourself. Lucky for you, Claire and I are here. <Kearnen pats her sniper rifle.> I'll cover your entry. Take this shrouding potion, you'll need it once you get inside. Use it as soon as you enter the tower and head upstairs. Find out what Helix is hiding up there!

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Find Agent Kearnen
SI: 7 has been tracking Helix Gearbreaker since he entered Alliance territory two weeks ago. The letter I received from Mathias Shaw explained that he sent an agent by the name of Kearnen to Westfall to shadow Helix. Find Agent Kearnen and you'll find Helix Gearbreaker.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Big Trouble in Moonbrook
I'll be filling out my report and heading back to Stormwind shortly. SI: 7 must be informed of the happenings in Westfall. I would recommend you do the same and report back to Gryan.
