Did this easy with my 70 necro. 5200 hp/7200 mana with about 140 AA. The orcs are easy to kite. Somewhat resistant to magic, you will see some resists in that category. The arcanists have a nasty snare/DoT that will eat you alive if you are not ready for it. It seems to be a short range spell though, cause once I stayed at max cast range, I never got it again, although pet always did. Will kill him quick if not careful. I just /pet hold until it wore off and sent him back in. Out of combat pet regen will keep it from being a killer. Legionaires had no spells, so I assume were strictly warriors. Named was easy to pull. Went around the back of the cul-de-sac, snared him and ran for my kite spot and FD'ed. Waited for everything to go back to spawn point and resnared named. Named was the most resistant of all. Resisted snare and Horror/Darkness about half the time. Everything else landed fine though. Took about 3/4 of my mana to kill him (and that's with all the DoT crit AAs up to my level) and rogue pet. Named didn't cast anything. Very easy quest for the time involved with a sweet reward. Zone was empty the entire time I was here. Oh, and AA experience was pretty dang good too.

This solo task is made for kiters. The orcs do not summon; they can be snared, but rooted only briefly. The level 26 Druid spell ensnare is frequently resisted, but the level 69 Druid spell mire thorns nearly always sticks. Since the duration of mire thorns is only 3 minutes, I usually cast that first, then cast ensnare repeatedly until it catches.
All of the orcs save the chief were dark blue cons to me at level 70. The Chief was red to me at 70, but became yellow at 71. The orc troops come in melee and caster varieties. The casters have a truly nasty AOE snare/dot that will kill you if you do not receive a dose of radiant cure or massive healing within a few ticks. When the casters stop moving, you have about three seconds to remove yourself from their AOE radius, which is considerable.
Although snared orc legionnaires are relatively harmless, they have a lot more HPs and consequently take longer to kill than the casters.
Only one in four or five orcs carry the hatchets for this task. The hatchets are not visible except that the orcs carrying them glow in the dark. They stand out at night, and can even be distinguished during daylight by comparing them to their non-packing, non-glowing comrades.
The orcish Chief hangs out at a bonfire deep inside their camp with three or four of his liuetenants, called warlords if I remember correctly. I never tried pulling him with harmony--his minions may be too high in level to be affected--but he can be split by aggroing the whole pack, then snaring off successive henchmen until only the Chief is left on your tail.
I like to kite around the pond because the orcs don't care for the deep water in the center and therefore won't cut corners if you're circling around a player camp.
The experience is very nice at 70, the zone is usually deserted, and various parchments for spell research drop from time to time. Foraged treant branches and pomegranates sold well in the bazaar when the expansion was new, but no longer.
This is a fun task with a nifty reward that is well within the reach of casual soloers and duoers. I wish you good hunting.
