I just had this bug out on me as well. I got to the Hunter of Heroes part, and the would not drop his bubble. I had to log all the way out of the game as well as the WoW ap. Then relog in. It reset that fight and let me kill him. I hope this is a help.

Description
Helya has made a mockery of my order by creating her own "helarjar", powerful undead tasked with hunting down heroic warriors and taking their souls before my val'kyr can claim them. Among them is her personal champion, Vigfus Bladewind, who wields stolen blades I forged myself long ago. He has returned to Tideskorn Harbor with a full cargo of stolen souls to take to Helheim. Go there, kill him and his helarjar, and make the swords yours.
