Actually it's easy and pretty safe to get to if you follow the right path, even for lower levels. I died a couple times pretty hideously before I found it.
In northeast Azsuna, from (66, 21) go down a path toward the river. Cross the river and go up the path starting at (66.6, 17.3).
There you will meet up with the main road up the hill at (22.9, 61.0) in Suramar. Stay on that (heading north) and there are few, if any, hostile mobs. At (29.1, 48.0) get off the road, heading mostly south through Absolom's Vigil and continue to the quest location at (30.1, 53.4).
While you are there, might as well pick up the flight path to Meredil to the northeast at (34.3, 49.4). Also a pretty safe journey and it will save time the next time you need to get there. Stay on the roads as much as possible around here and even my level 103 was never attacked.

Mama Diggs will only offer this quest after you have completed all three felslate sample quests: Felslate Deposit Sample, Felslate Seam Sample, and Living Felslate Sample.
Its leystone counterpart is The Highmountain Tauren.
The Felsmiths, a band of bards known for some famous songs such as:
- There is a fel light that never goes out
- Felmouth strikes again
- Girlfriend in a felfire
and many more.
Well ok, maybe that joke isn't funny anymore :(

Description
Ye have a knack with this felslate, lad. Best ship ye off to someone who knows the stuff better than I. The Illidari have a knack with all things demonic, really, and I've heard about a few miners who've set up shop out near the demons in Suramar. Pay 'em a visit. See what they have to teach ye.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Living Felslate Sample
Your miner's instinct is kicking in. Chunks of the infernal's corpse appear to be usable. Still, there must be a way to extract more ore from the demon's body. Perhaps your mining trainer in Dalaran will know how.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- A Shred of Your Humanity
To mine for felslate is to seek the very blood of demons. To improve at it, you must become part demon yourself. Why the dirty look? You said it yourself: you're willing to make sacrifices. Luckily for you, I'm an expert in this area. I won't put you in any danger, as long as you trust me.
