If I were you I would run Gnomeregan a few times, and try to get the blue 2handed mace "Manual Crowd Pummeler" it drops off of Crowd Pummeler lol.
He's inside the back entrance, so if that's the only reason you plan to goto Gnomer, run it once and get the key for the door, and kill him and reset until it drops =)
I'm level 34 still using it, great mace it be. Good luck.
