TheWoWDBI'm a rogue, and just did this quest a few times and came to a few conclusions. Eventually completed it with ease:
*Stay back, the argent guys can take care of themselves.
*If mobs are on the flag, kill them.
*The Lich King likes to yell.
*When LK yells "Lay down your arms and surrender your souls," that is when the boss spawns. If The Lich King yells that, and the guy doesn't spawn, you bugged it. Leave and come back.
*Running forward seems to make the battle last forever and eventually causes the NPCs to depsawn.Be patient, and follow the quest instructions by protecting that flag! NOT by running forward! :D

What to do
Description
<Highlord Fordring holds a banner of the Argent Crusade.> This banner is like no other, {name}. It carries with it a powerful blessing, able to sanctify large tracts of blighted land. You must take it northwest, through the Breach, to an area the Scourge have mockingly named Crusaders' Pinnacle. Plant the banner atop the skulls of our fallen brethren at Crusaders' Pinnacle and defend it against attack. Once the land is sanctified, return to Father Gustav. Go now, {name}. Hold no fear in your heart.
