I completed this one last week, with a little help from a Rallos Zek worshipping troll mule (non-KOS to both dwarves and giants).
If you can find a helper with SoW or get some potions, the entire quest should in most cases take less than 3 hours start to finish, perhaps much less if things go right with drops. It is REALLY easy, and I highly recommend this for any shaman or druid, and any other class that uses dot's a lot.
it is possible to cut out some of the steps in the initial post - please see below for my newly written guide. You don't need the blood wolf harness or war wolf choker at all. Feel free to ask me for help anytime if you need it.
1) Make RZ worshipping Troll mule.
2) Get port, bind, and sow in Thurgadin.
3) Run Mule to CC and loot Karsin Acid from velium farmers, or bring a friend to kill random orcs. Drop is pretty common from any orc. Death gate to Thurg and turn acid in to Erdarf in a bar near the library in Thurgadin. Receive Gem of Persuasion.
4) Run mule to Kael. Find a giant wolf tamer (almost always up) under the bridge on the way to the Tormax area. Not the first bridge with wolves under it, the second. Don't go too far - you will be KOS to Tormax area. Turn in Gem of Persuasion, receive Giant Gem of persuasion. Immediately turn in Giant Gem to the same guy and receive Giant Control Harness. Death-gate back to Thurgadin
5) Get Invis and get mule to broodmother spawn in caves in Great Divide. This part may take a few attempts, or some killing help, as some wandering shardwurms see invis. I simply trained the one that did out of the caves and around for a minute with another character while mule ran in invis. Camp there, or just wait a few minutes if you have a friend or character available on another PC to do the next step. It is safe from aggro to camp in and out here anytime, if broodmother is not up at first.
6) Have your main character or killing force sit facing out and to the left in the cave entrance at (-6200, -3200). You will need one or more characters capable of killing a level 45ish warrior class dwarf. Nothing special about him, and will be no adds. When ready, have mule hand the harness to the broodmother. She will begin walking towards the cave, but will take a few minutes. You can log out the mule after turn in, and log in your main at the cave if necessary.
7) Within 10 seconds or so of harness turn in, Korf Brokenhammer and another dwarf named Relik will spawn outside the cave. This is NOT the Korf Brokenhammer you wil be killing, but target him anyways. After a few minutes, the broodmother will arrive and attack Relik. Korf will despawn and respawn and will VERY quickly start running south, so be ready. You should lose your target when he despawns, so you then know you have the correct one up. Root him or otherwise attack him quickly before he runs off, and kill him. The Coldain Military Wristguard will be on his corpse.
