Took about 20 kills to collect all 5. Taskmasters have 1-2 weak minions with them. Minions will flee once taskmaster dies.
Ever notice the names of the quest rewards?

Broken Choker, Fallen Vindicator's Blade, Ring of the Slain Anchorite, 10g 50s, 4,100 XPDescription
Uncorrupted draenei, like this unlucky fellow here, are virtuous champions of the Light. What corruption caused their great race to devolve into the Broken and Lost Ones? I've heard a theory that exposure to fel energies is what caused the mutation. I would like to put that theory to the test. Northwest of here lie the Ruins of Sha'naar. There you will find lowly Broken commanded by Illidari taskmasters. Bring me demonic essences from the taskmasters so that I can test them on this draenei.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Arelion's Mistress
With all the important matters at hand Arelion still found time in his schedule to see a mistress! It's all becoming perfectly clear. Viera Sunwhisper, that filthy wench... we'll show her to never cross a magistrix again. Take this scroll and find Viera.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- In Need of Felblood
Northeast of here lie the Pools of Aggonar. Once a sacred site to the draenei, their waters were corrupted after the blood from the demon Aggonar was spilled into them. That blood, though old and diluted, still possesses tremendous power.
