Just like Xithian said, the Mammoth would be your best bet if you are lower level (~24-34). I finished the quest at level 25 with my NB by leaving the quest for a bit (usually logged onto my alt for a few minutes then tried back) until the Mammoth spawned. Had to do it twice because I was the unlucky recipient of the basic attack *** Mammoth the first time around. Second time, he was easy to defeat by dodging and striking from behind.
You want to stay beside the mammoth as much as possible. In my experience he tended to spin around and basic attack more if you get completely behind him at every chance. Staying just to one side barely out of the red for his area attacks seemed to get the best results.
I was level 39 going in though. I *did* fight him quite a few times as I stayed in the instance till level 41, grinding in all of my werewolf glory. I wish being a werewolf was that fun after...
