Make sure you talk to the scryer after it starts going all crazy purple. I wasn't sure what it was doing and sat watching it for a good 2-3 minutes before I realized what I was supposed to do.

Use the shard at ~ 44,51. Sometimes a Hellfire warding spawns, kill it, continue this until 4 shards appear next to the scryer. Sometimes an Orc spawns with add, but easily soloable as any lvl 60 char. (If you are a healer maybe you should team up with a DPS, I'm not sure about that you can do it alone. Read other's comment too, maybe you can find some other helpfull information.

Use the shard at the base of Hellfire Citadel, near the PvP area. There's a nice monster-free area there.
It will summon a lot of monsters for you, mostly easy imps. When it's done, talk to it to get a report.
Make sure to read the report all the way through before turning this in. It's some good lore and the change of tone near the end is delightfully jarring.

Description

The Demoniac Scryer is now ready. Take it behind Hellfire Citadel, to Hellfire Basin, and summon it upon the ground. It will then begin to attune itself to Hellfire Citadel. After its attunement, speak to the Scryer and transcribe what it tells you. Bring that transcription to me... Go, {name}, but only when you are ready. There is no doubt that Hellfire Citadel will detect the Scryer and send wardens to destroy it!

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

A Burden of SoulsHellfire Peninsula · Level 10-30
I have a device, the Demoniac Scryer, that can analyze fel magic. I would have you use the Scryer, but first... you must appease it. The Scryer, you see, has trapped within it a creature of vast intelligence and its needs are, shall we say, quite eccentric. To appease the Scryer, you must kill orcs.
