TheWoWDBI've discovered what is truly wrong with this quest. When he attacks your dragon, some of his attacks also hit you and not just the dragon pet. The real method to overcome this, however, is not to dodge in and out of the Arrow Volley, but to fight him face to face on his level in melee range. When you're close enough, he will no longer use the volley, and that is his strongest attack that also hits you by far.
Also, I have found from dozens of tries before killing him that the problem with the #2 Stun ability not going off is because of movement right when using the move. To be able to really use it correctly, once you're right in front of him, don't take any more movements. Stun him right away and use 3 whenever it's up and spamming 1 when 3 is not up. Use the stun right when it's cooldown is over and go right back to the 1 and 3 spamming. Your character should take some damage, but you should be able to take him down before you yourself dies. Ive never seen the dragon die before my character, but then again I did this quest with only just barely 10k hp and no armor, so if I can do it any class should be able to do it. And if none of that works, I guess you could try it with a second person. Good luck. I know how annoying this quest can be if you keep dying.

That's not exactly true. Spamming flame breath isn't the best way. It does less damage than the 3rd ability. The 2nd ability is also worth using every cooldown, a 5 second stun will save you a lot of damage. Anyway, Jame from Jame's leveling guides made a really nice tutorial video for this quest, you can't go wrong after you watch it: Video: [74] The Thane of Voldrune
The dragon is located at 27,78.
Thane is at 27, 73.
Just spam Flame Breath and you'll win easily.

What to do
Legguards of Refuted Feudalism, 
Thane-Reaper's Signet, 
Skull-Reshaper's Helm, 10g 50s, 4,100 XPDescription
Now that you've captured the flame-imbued talismans and weakened Voldrune's defenses, we can strike at its leader, Thane Torvald Eriksson. The thane's favorite mount is an unruly proto-drake he calls Flamebringer. It is kept bound in chains in the western part of Voldrune, but with the talismans, you should be able to control it long enough to use it against the thane. Once you have Flamebringer under your control, search the tops of the towers of Voldrune for the thane and show him no mercy.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Failed World Tree
My ancestors once planted a tree in the middle of the Grizzly Hills. It was called Vordrassil and it was to become a world tree. For reasons long forgotten, after the tree was fully grown, they decided it needed to be destroyed. Its giant trunk splintered at three locations in the area to the north.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- A Dark Influence
When the tree Vordrassil fell, its hollow remains grew roots deep into the ground. I want you to go north of here to the three locations where the trunk shattered and go as far beneath the ground as you can. You'll find them west of Grizzlemaw.
