The Spirit Trap

NOTE: Since I play a boomkin, this advice is only applicable for ranged characters!

I might be alone in this but when I'm doing my dailies, I hate getting hit on by things I'm not interested in fighting at the same time. With the new patch 5.1 (Landfall) Alliance dailies, there's a few things to be done underground but trying to be the first to tap the [item=92708] can be difficult and annoying. My solution is to go to a small cave at the top left corner of your map (once underground) at co-ords 38.00 15.00 which places you at the back of a small cave which is partially underwater. At this spot you can stand on a rock and wait for the Spirit Trap to spawn at the entrance of the small cave.
Once it's up, you can safely attack from your position but the best thing is, the [npc=68152] that spawn don't attack you because it seems like they don't like getting their feet wet however they do provide 20 reputation with [faction=1359] if you kill them up until revered. Also, the [npc=68070] don't bother you either because you're too far away from their patrol route. The Spirit Trap seems to spawn every 2 ^1/2 mins for me so just take your time, and you can finish this quest very easily.

Phazed nailed this one perfectly. One of the best descriptions I've seen put on here.

Based on phazed's advice above, I figured out a similarly convenient way on my ret pala:

I used Overgrown Lilypad (drops from the rare jinyu mob Sele'na in Valley of the Four Winds), which granted me Wrath. This way, I could attack the Spirit Trap from a safe range, without aggroing the spawning spirits. (Exorcism, Judgment and Hammer of Wrath can also be used from this distance, adding extra damage.)

Have fun with your new ranged pala :)
