TheWoWDBAnyone else feel like a hypocrite doing this quest? In the wilds zone there's a quest to disarm IDENTICAL traps because "It's a dishonourable way to kill someone".

Protip: attack a [npc=61373], then lure them into a set [npc=61426] for a 1 hit kill - thus getting Trap Setting & Breach in the Defenses very easily. Note that it seems to only kill one per trap.
Simply find the small traps (look like spiky grey bombs) and click on them - a cogwheel should appear when you float your mouse over them. It worked this way for me - I didn't have to attack anything.

Description
Good to meet you, {class}. We have traps all along the pass to help us catch mantid that might be sneaking through, but their numbers have been so great that most of the traps have already been triggered. Taoshi said you might be able to reset some of them while you're out there. Can you help?

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Breach in the Defenses
Normally, it only takes a few scouts to hold this pass. Most of this territory is in sight of the wall, so archers would devastate any mantid force attempting to push through here. The problem is, most of the archers are occupied with the onslaught at the gate.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Returning from the Pass
I still have some cleanup to do here in the pass - there are some mantid still making it through. You're a valuable person to have at hand though, and I know Taran wouldn't appreciate me keeping you longer for such basic work. Taran should still be in the main camp with Gao-Ran. Report back in.
