This is your typical quest for this expansion. It's designed to annoy you and to take as long as possible.

Ignore the trail, get the waypoints for the various parts of this quest and go to them directly trying to bypass as much trash as you can.

A good example of how bad this is is how you save the idiot Ashenmane and he gets up and then runs through a bunch of mobs and stands on the bridge for absolutely zero reason. So you have to fight your way through a ton of mobs to get where he ran. Just stupid...
