The guards are too close to the captain currently. If a druid or ranger harmonies all of them, and tags the captain. Still 2 guards come with the captain. This is not correct.
The fix: Space the mobs out a bit more / move captain a little bit back.
Tons of comments about Harmony making this a single pull:

Harmony works when done right. I've had different druids and rangers on harmony job, with different results. When I'm certain that the harmony person knows what they are doing, they get the captain solo every time. It all has to do with knowing how harmony works to take advantage of its benefits. (range of harmony AE, pulled mob must not path over harmonied mobs and etc).
You are pulling only the captain who stands few feet in front, facing the giant squad, so it really doesn't matter that the other giants are close together. If you get extras, harmony wasn't done right.
Captain is level constant 57 or 58 (blue to 60), and he is definitely 100% MR. Has a lot of HP (100k+) and he is unslowable. He hits semi hard so you need a decent higher level warrior to tank it. Although its possible to have a pally or SK tanking it, since captain is 100% MR they will have a heck of a time holding aggro. And defensive disc makes it much easier on the mana too.
You should get one or two more light healers, and one heavy damage dealer, like a ragebringer rogue or epic ranger/epic monk.
Thats pretty much it. I've done it with 5 people and no C2, but my mana pool is pretty hefty, so your mileage may vary. Need to time your CHs well and have backup healers chaining small heals (harmony druid, shaman) and you should be ok as long as your melee damage output is good enough.
He usually falls few minutes after defensive disc goes down and I finish with 30ish mana in the end.

The drood harmonied(sp?) the giants and was able to single pull the captain.
I was able to harmony pull the captain single today. The captain was 58, and was *highly* MR. The giants were also scowling, ready to attack to ALL, regardless of their Kael faction. Faction hits for the kill were Kromzek, Kromrif, *and* Tormax.
Yes, he is solo pullable with harmony. And as for handing in your own tools, fix your Claws of Veeshan faction.
Allakhazam Mob (http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/npc.html?id=7055)
After handing in the tools to Scout Charisa, the Kromzek Captain will spawn near the water (to the right just outside of the Siren's Grotto zone). If you harmony-pull him, you can take him easily with a group of 55+, assuming you have a high level chanter and shaman, not to mention no less than 59 warrior tanking. Great reward in the end, but scout rarely lives for too long...
