Patch 4.2 Daily Quests: Call the Flock, Wings Aflame, and Rage Against the Flames

Remember, there are mild spoilers about quests launching with patch 4.2, so please be warned if you're particular about that sort of thing.
Today, we'll look at:
Rage Against the Flames
Rage Against the Flames follows the most basic quest type in World of Warcraft: Kill seven invaders from the Firelands. Sure, it's not complicated. Sure, it's not the most prestigious job. The description from Matoclaw sums it up best, for me:
Of all of our tasts here in Hyjal, the most pressing is simple: destroy these invaders. The very nature of fire is that it is all-consuming. Lower your defense for just a moment and it will destroy everything in sight.You'll get this quest done relatively quickly, either in the area right to the west of the Sanctuary of Malorne or near the Grove of Aessina. You'll be all over this area for the next quest that you'll be picking up in tandem to Rage Against the Flames.
Kill any of the fiery invaders you find. Every enemy defeated purchases more time for Hyjal.
Players are rewarded one Mark of the World Tree and 25 gold, 94 silver for completing this quest.
Aviana is the ancient of birds and the Druids of the Talon, representing birds, bird spirits, and all things avian. Since we're working with ancients in Hyjal to stop Ragnaros' minions, Aviana lends a hand. Players are tasked with using a Quill of the Bird-Queen in the Whistling Grove to turn into a bird.
As a bird, you'll get a new ability to rally various birds to your cause. You need to gather the help of 12 Alpine Songbirds, five Forest Owls, and two Goldwing Hawks. These birds are fluttering around trees, soaring above the treeline, or zipping past Firelands denizens.
Players are rewarded one Mark of the World Tree and 12 gold, 40 silver, 50 copper for completing this quest and can accept Wings Aflame.
Wings Aflame
With your bird army assembled, it is time to strike at the fiery heart of the invasion in the Grove. Next, you'll return to your mortal form and use the Quill of the Bird-Queen to call forth Millagazor, a firehawk that still has ties to the world of birds. Why wouldn't Aviana still have a little sway over birds, on fire or not?
Once Millagazor is summoned, you begin the fight. It is a simple fight, dodging fire attacks and DPSing down Millagazor. Once Millagazor reaches low health, he tries to escape, taking flight into the open Hyjal sky. It is a shame, then, that Millagazor never realized that the birds of Hyjal were on our side. Your fledgling bird army overwhelms and defeats Millagazor.
Players are rewarded two Marks of the World Tree and 25 gold 94 silver for completing this quest.

All of these sound like a lot of fun.
Granted, many dailies sound like a lot of fun the first two or three times you do them.
A good daily is exciting the first few times, but doesn't grow frustrating when you're forced to do them 100 times.
I'm looking at you, Argent Crusade Jousting Quests.

Oh man, I for one LOVED the jousting quests :)

I love that quest! [Call the Flock] I like the way all those kills count towards [Rage Against the Flames]. So you do the daily in that area and get 3 Flame kills, then go do [Protectors of Hyjal] and presto! 9 kills for Rage Against the Flames. No mess no fuss.

/Sigh, another damn Vehicle Quest based quest... all we need is Argent Crusade to set up another Tournament.

Why not cut out the step of gathering birds as a bird and follow the better format of "lead a squad [of birds] to oppose Millagazor"?

That would be pretty hilarious if Tirion tired setting up another tournament to prepare for facing Rag.
Tirion: "Okay we're here...I think we'll put the coliseum over there...and we'll need some beasts to pit the heros against...and where's that squire with my latte?"
Malfurion: "Umm, Tirion, I don't think we're going to do the tournament thing again..."
Tirion: "What? People love my tournaments! don't they?"
Malfurion: "Yea...not so much..."

What's the point of doing the new Firelands dailies, as opposed to any of the other dailies? Is it simply to break up the monotony?
Lorne May 28th 2011 4:04AM
You need to do the firelands dailies in order to open the firelands zone and have access to the vendors and such iirc

There's a whole heap of rewards, including a fiery hippogryph mount apparently. It sounded a bit like the quel'danis quests in 2.4 when blizzard described it, which can't be a bad thing.

I've done the TB dailies so often I have everything I could possibly use from the QM and have around 400 commendations to spare.
Even if there wasn't another reason, I'll be doing these when 4.2 hits.
