The world quests are still enjoyable for me, as the 845 gear upgrades
often enough to have a chance of being an upgrade, but yeah, I mainly
do it for AP on my main now.

That quest requiring the 80 drops from heroic dungeons is just
ridiculous, apparently people doing high end mythics need far far less
runs, but for us... well I'm not even going to try. Blizz will cave in
and add a catchup mechanism in a few patches, I'm sure; they did with
the legendary questchains in the past, and this grind is worse, while
the Illidan story is one they've promoted a lot, so they'll surely
want everyone to see it. As such, I'm waiting for the catchup
mechanism lol.

Lol. Yep. I haven't even tried mythics, pug attitudes are why many of
us won't go near the group finder for anything more than a world boss;
it is not a good tool for arranging instanced content. I'm afraid the
main answer is find some friends or a guild... well, my friends play
alliance and I can't be bothered with guild drama, so I'm just not
doing mythics! Not that I'd want to anyway (unless Blizz let me group
with my existing friends), I've always preferred casual content, so
stepping up to heroics when the mythic-only dungeons have their heroic
modes added will be enough for me.

I remember reading those comments about that quest and yet... I had no
trouble lol (not saying that to show off - I was extremely surprised,
considering all the horror stories I'd heard about it!). I'd suggest
doing it on a day where there is a nice lucrative world quest in the
area (ie, people are killing stuff nearby already); get your 4-piece
order hall setbonus equipped (so you can live long enough to either
kill mobs or escape), and then dodge the packs. I was perhaps rather
lucky, as the day I did it there were always people killing stuff, so
almost all the time I only needed to run from clear spot to clear
spot, and just keep moving before something respawned - biggest
problem was when I guessed wrong on the map spot and went in an
occupied building, but my order hall setbonus saved me and I could
just kill the pack in there (slowly :-P) 

Another option is careful use of goblin gliders from the vineyard
area, I often use those for getting around that area when quests send
me there. Oh and a tip; the canal bit (where you kill the named guy
for the other quest in that chain) is pretty much out of leash range
of most stuff so you can always jump in there to reset :-)
