TheWoWDBGothik was also a boss in the original Naxx 40 man raid. One of his quotes included the line "You have fought hard to invade the realm of the harvester. Now there is only one way out - to walk the lonely path of the damned." This is also what he says when you turn in the prereq quest to him. Although this time he does it like this:
You have fought hard to invade the realm of the harvester... Wait.
<Gothik looks at his notes.>
My apologies, <race>. Old habits die hard.Blizz devs have some great senses of humor.

Go to 60, 30 and use Gift of the Harvester on Scarlet Miners. In most cases they will turn into Ghoul minions. Collect five minions and return to questgiver.
I had a 100% rate when I used it far away from the miner and 0% when I was close... might want to put those odds on your side

Description
I have come from the frozen heart of Naxxramas to feast on souls and deliver a vicious thrashing upon our sworn enemies - and I'm all out of souls. This device I am about to give to you is a portable plague spreader. Take it east, to the Havenshire Mines, and unleash it near the Scarlet miners working inside. Use it to turn the miners into ghouls and return to me when you have a small army at your side. I have saved a special place for them in the vacuum cleaner of souls!
Where to go
Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

- Gothik the Harvester
CHAOS, <name>! The Crusade is in a frenzy. They have diverted all forces outside of New Avalon to set up a blockade at Light's Point, east of here. They are desperately trying to strip the Havenshire Mine of all resources and load the cargo aboard the frigates they have docked on the coast.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- An Attack Of Opportunity
Only the Scarlet forces at New Avalon and Light's Point challenge us! The time to attack the Scarlet fleet at Light's Point has come. The diversion at the mine has caused chaos amidst their ranks. They are frantically working to clear the area and return to their ships. The time is ripe!
