This quest can be soloed as long as you are capable to killing 6k hp elites which are mainly caster mobs (susceptible to interupt). All of them are solo pulls. However, you will need 1 instance reset to get this done.
First fireguard - From the instance entrace, go left through a cell door, you will see a fireguard patrolling in circle near a group of anvilrage officers, when it patrols aways from them, you can pull it solo using a range ability and kill it.
Second fireguard - From where you kill the first fireguard, look for another cell door to the right (not the one you came in from). Past the door you will see a friendly dwarf npc and a door in front of him, go past the door, hugging the right wall, go up the stairs, the mob patrols through this path.
Third fireguard - At the stairs where you killed the second fireguard, go up the stairs to los pull the 3rd fireguard down, where you can kill it in the middle of the stairs, away from groups of mobs.

Description
Within the halls of Blackrock Depths, the Twilight's Hammer cult and the Dark Iron dwarves are gathering their forces. Backing up their legions are hordes of fire elementals bound to the service of the firelord, Ragnaros. If we can free those elementals from their bonds, we can both weaken our enemies and honor the elements. Take this totem with you and use it on subdued fireguards. It will free their spirits from their bondage and restore them to their natural state.

Inside the dungeon: Blackrock Depths
