Staff of Gabstik

[Estu]

So I was lucky enough to loot some mistletoe powder recently, and was wondering what the easiest way to get a staff of gabstik from it is. I haven't done any work at all on my wizard epic quest, though I completed my shaman epic (on my shaman), grinding faction via a mixture of CoM pages and tiny gem turn-ins. As far as I can tell, here's what I should do for the staff of gabstik (I'm not concerned with the epic itself at the moment):

1) Grind up true spirit faction to some unknown amount using tiny gem turn-ins or CoM pages. Anyone know how much faction is needed?

2) Find Kandin Firepot and hand him the powder.

Does this sound right? Anything I'm missing? I just want to be very careful not to screw up the turn-in.
