Haha, I moved past 2 worms on the way to the scepter on my hunter, and to drop agro I used Feign Death, and Thalyssra and Lor'themar faked death too.
PS: Just did the same oon follow up quest, and the Gilbin Neri too feigned death. Seems a new (hidden) implementation?

Description

I don't like the sound of that... It sounds like an army! We need to investigate. Try not to draw too much attention as we take a look. If there's an army down there, we'll need to move quickly to find refuge.

Where to go

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.
