Probably the easiest and quickest heroic daily.

You will need to pop the explosive barrel at the door and then go in.
You will encounter 3 separate group of mob. First group is four Mutated Skel. They hit hard and fast so be sure to CC them if you can.
Second group is two elite Mutated Whitefang, which are not too difficult if you can CC one of them.
The third group has one elite Mutated Whitefang and four Mutated Skel. The Whitefang can be pulled separately and killed away from the skels. This allow you to face the skels alone and CC one as needed.
Once you get past the 3 groups, there is a champion Wampa guarding the door but he is a huge over compared to the previous trash backs. Defeating him will allow you to access the console to open the final door.
