    I am not proud of this solution but hey, it works.

    Go to 48,57, close to the edge overlooking a fairly steep drop.  At the bottom will be a tent and, after a respawn, Zurok the Drillmaster.  Target him, send your pet, get the aggro and pull your pet back up.  Zurok will follow, maybe bring one mob but you can lock down/finish it off on the way up.

    From that point, just attack from a distance whenever possible, be sure to NOT get between Zurok and the edge (he has a knockback spell that will...well, knock you back...over the edge, down the cliff and that's never fun without a Netherweave Bungiebelt.)  Freeze/lock/root in place and pound away from a distance, he is a fairly easy kill (for an Elite).  Take care to avoid getting knocked into other NPCs, stay focused on Zurok if you do, keep the pets healthy and voila, +1000 rep in Honor Hold +12K XP (ymmv) and piece of plate armor that sells for 4.8G

      lol, i tried to do what was said but fell down and died.  I had a soul stone on.  I rezed when safe, killed his adds then killed him.  Easy elite to kill.  LvL 61 warlock.  I assume it would be easier to go through the path of glory.

      I just did this trick with a 60 hunter: drop onto the ledge, pull the drillmaster with concussion shot so you have some time to position him and put serpent sting on him (he comes alone, and yes he will be in range a short while if you stand exactly at the edge), move him to the left side of the ledge and let pet immediately take over with a growl (I am BM specced so have a cute boartank) to prevent you being knocked back. Then walk to the right side of the ledge (dont fall down!) till you are in shooting range, and then just keep on shooting him and keep mending your pet. Only 'problem' was that I had to hearth out of that place so make sure it's not on cd ;)
