You'll need this handy trinket from a quest in Kun-Lai Summit.
Explosive Barrel - Item - World of Warcraft
The Use effect of that trinket doesn't aggro guards. It's a 2-minute cooldown though, so only really interesting use I've found so far is one-shotting lowbies.
The trinket doesn't aggro mobs either, though the mob quickly gains it's health back as it's not in combat. I can't think of any use for that, but maybe someone else out there can.
I already did a forum search for "explosive barrel", "barrel", "guard", and "neutral"; I've only managed to find an similar exploit that required a warlock spell. If this is a repost, please hit me with the shame hammer.
