Aye excellent location at 72,41. Can easily pull those 4 closest slayers over and over again while avoiding the Eye and the wandering Elite. Just cram yourself in the corner to heal and drink, and wait on the slayers to repop, rinse and repeat until you have all 8. Of course you need a flying mount to get to this location without going down the hall and killing every slayer anyway, but for druids it's perfect.

When you do this horrible quest you can kill Smith Gurlonk (68, 36) at the same time because he drops the Primed Key Mould which starts the questline to get the key for Shattered Halls instance in Hellfire Peninsula.

Here is how I did it, quickly, with no deaths (requires flying mount):

1) Land on the wall at 71,41. No mob will aggro or pursue you whiel you are standing on this wall, so it is your safe spot. In front of you will be a row of slayers, which are all single pulls.

Wait for the elite and the eye of kilrogg to pass heading west (to your left), then get down off the wall pull and kill 1-3 slayers before hopping back up on the wall to wait for the elite pat again. Note: You need to fly to get back up on the wall, so give yourself time to mount. Once you get your 8 slayers move to...

2) Fly to 72,38 land on the Darkweaver and kill him. you are safe here from all except a Chosen pat on a long walk (kill him if he comes by), but all of the nearby mobs are bugged so you wil want ot move. Fly to 71,39 and repeat on this darkweaver.

3) Fly to 70,35 and land on the wall. This wall is different from the wall in step 1 in that mobs CAN and WILL path up onto it. So time your kills to avoid the elite pat, and be in the air when he is coming around. He's on a fairly long path, maybe 2 minutes. Stay here and kill Chosen until you are done.

Note: To compensite for a slow spawn timer, you can alternate between steps 2 and 3 as the spawns appear.

Note: Take the time to learn how the elite path to your kill spot. it will prevent long lonely trips from the gy.

Description

You did well against the Ashtongue Broken, {name}. I have another challenge for you, should you be up to it. Not too long ago, the Sanctum of the Stars suffered a tremendous attack by Illidan's fel orcs. We've determined it was perpetrated by the Shadowmoon orcs who occupy the Ata'mal Terrace. Show them that the Scryers are not to be trifled with.
