With the 2.3 patch this quest now gives 15k XP! Also the quests still states that you need to kill Van. This is incorrect. You only need to win the AV. This makes completing this quest easy because with the 2.3 changes sometimes you will not even wind up at the end and you will win.
Hope it helps!
When this quest is completed, the quest Hero of the Frostwolf, http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=8272 which has you pick one of the pvp weapons, becomes available from Voggah.
