TheWoWDBthis quest is crazy ridiculous. i've died at least 6 times trying to kill kalaran because the other three don't give off enough threat to keep him occupied on them for any amount of time. can anyone give me advice on how to kill this beast?

Here's what I did:
Swiftly clicked Eric's Charge > Baelog's Valhalla Shot > Baelog's Warcry > Olaf's Mighty Shout > Olaf's Shield Wall. That way Kal is stunned immediately, then takes a bunch of damage, then Olaf taunts and protects himself. THEN I attacked, and I sometimes halted attacks when my threat overwhelmed theirs.
Just make sure to hit the Shot, Warcry, Shout and Shield Wall whenever they are on cooldown, ignoring you own abilities for a moment if you must. Use the Potion as necessary. You may wish to save the Charge for when Kal is charging up his flame breath, to interrupt it.
I also cleared out the trash nearby first to prevent adds, which is even more critical for The Sorrow and the Fury.
I had just picked this quest up when I had to log out for a bit. I logged back on (I had tucked my toon in the inn tent before logging), and found that only Eric is with me now. Baelog is missing entirely and Olaf is standing in the tent and will not move or follow me. I tried abandoning and re-taking the quest from each of the toons who can give it to me (Eric, Olaf and Rhea) in turn. But Olaf does not budge from the tent and Baelog does not re-appear. This appears to be a bug. Has anyone else encountered it or discovered a fix?

Description
Hello, {name}. It looks like you four have had time to become well-acquainted. I have my first assignment for you. Kalaran, an ancient black dragon of considerable power, has joined in the hunt for the egg we are protecting. We need to stop him before he gets too close. You will find him and his minions at the Dustbowl, northeast of Dragon's Mouth. Hunt him down and defeat him. You will likely need the help of your new dwarven allies.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Olaf, the Big Fella'
You may not have noticed, but I'm pretty big, as far as dwarves go. I make sure that my two brothers here don't get into too much trouble. They're small, and they don't have a big shield like me. I'm big, and I can handle a few monsters hitting me!
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Their Hunt Continues
The black dragonflight means business. It appears that they've taken over a large portion of New Kargath, the large Horde settlement northwest of Dragon's Mouth. Their troops are under the command of General Jirakka and his champion, Moldarr. They must be stopped.
