Marshal Dughan wants you, and not him to kill Hogger for a reason.
He wouldn't last 10 seconds against Hogger, and you should not attempt this without a 40 man raid.
Nerf Hogger, blizzard!

This is the first "elite" quest in the human storyline. This is best in a group or you will most likely die from adds, extra monsters attacking you.
Once Hogger is dead have everyone in your party loot his body and pick up his claw, it will be available to everyone that has the quest in your party.
