TheWoWDBI've had a few run straight over the runes without anything happening.
Quite annoying really, its not like they were just clipping them, they went straight though the middle.

The highest voted Wowhead comments for this page. They are community notes, not TheWoWDB comments.
The way I did this was start the event and mount up. Once the ghosts start chasing you, head to the front near where they spawn and sit there on your mount. Let them keep spawning until you have around 20 beating on you. Then take off on your mount in circles until they blow up. First pack i got 14 in one portal then finished off the couple stragglers.
Either this quest is a little buggy or something.
I lead some of the mobs right on top of the circles and they go right in the middle and it doesn't kill them.

Description
Let us not be confined by the bounds of the mage repertoire of magic. I, for one, choose not to be classist. Necromancy can just be so much fun! Touch the Shadow Crystal to open a portal to my Trial of Shadow. Once there, move to the Altar when you are ready to begin. Weeping Souls shall begin to pursue you... your goal is simply to drag them into the traps. And be sure not to let them touch you.
