TheWoWDBPretty easy to solo at level 50 if you don't mind repair costs.
Stealth all the way, vanish when you need to, and make sure you're not in the fiery mobs' line of sight.
To get to the grain sacks go into the instance past the friendly guys, then when you get into the large room go for the first passageway on the left.
There's a friendly guy guarding a small door on the right, which is unlocked. Go in and you'll see sacks of grain lying about the place. Find ones that aren't close to the dark iron dwarves and poison them.When you die now it's only a one second corpse run, unlike before patch 4.0.3a when it used to take ages. Thanks Blizzard.

Excellent advice! I would just add you can do this without dying if you get the sacks w/o mobs nearby then reset the instance. Note the E. Garrison is the room where you would click the mechanism to bring down the drawbridge above. Left from entrance through locked gate, right through next locked gate then left through the door.
This is the Horde version of the Rogue Only quest given by Gordul, an Orgrimmar Rogue Trainer.
There is an optional breadcrumb quest that preceeds it called Meet With Gordul which is received when a player hits level 50.

Description
As a member of the Shattered Hand, you know that it is our job to watch the Horde's enemies. We have discovered that the Dark Iron dwarves and their new allies, Twilight's Hammer, are preparing to attack. I'm sending you to help deal with this threat before the Dark Iron army marches. Take this poison and apply it to the soldiers' rations of grain in Blackrock Depths. The rations for most of the Dark Iron army are kept in the East and West Garrison of Blackrock Depths.
