TheWoWDBZ'kral has quite the long respawn time (over five minutes). If you see someone else kill him or you do it yourself while you are doing the pre-requisite quest, make a note to take a break before heading back into the mine or be prepared to wait around a small while.
Also, to many of the comments: No one cares what you solo a normal level 62 mob with.

The guy is right at the bottom of the mine, easy to find (there is only one way to go) He is a level 62 Non-Elite. If your not careful you will pull him and a level 60 mob, like I did.
Easy enough at level 61 solo
He was pretty tough back in the day, and that seems to be when those comments were posted. Back in 2.0. Sure, its easy to kill him in wrath and cata, but it was a pain in the ass in BC

Description
Those infernal gan'arg keep scurrying into the mine! For each one you kill, two or three more seem to take its place! There's got to be someone down there in the deepest reaches of the mine directing the incursion. You seemed to do well against them last time, and Light knows you're the only one brave enough to venture back into the mine. Find out who's responsible for this disturbance and make him pay!
