TheWoWDBThese are found on the lower 2 levels of Jintha'Alor and have a very long respawn timer, making the quest really annoying if someone had done it right before you.

There are four in the entire area and They. Never. Respawn.
Based on chatlog times between looting my last kill and my next kill after waiting an eternity for the respawn... these take approximately 12-13 minutes to respawn. And there seem to be very few witch doctors out there. Ouch.

Description
Today we make the first strike at the heart of the savage Vilebranch tribe. Show no mercy, {name}; this is no longer just a spat between trolls. Every victory of the Revantusk is a victory for the Horde! The Vilebranch headhunters and witch doctors will be the first to go. Make your strike against the lower terraces and report back to me with blood on your weapons.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Prime Slime
I've become very interested in the slimes inhabiting Skulk Rock. No matter how many times they're cleared out, they seem to return, yet it doesn't seem they're capable of reproducing from a single slime. I think something's growing in there.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Faces of Evil
The Vilebranch have hung their tiki masks all across the walls of Jintha'Alor. The spirits not gonna be watchin' over them much longer. Take this torch with ya as ya fight through the Vilebranch, <class>. Set fire to their tiki masks.
