I first saw Grawmug when I was doing the previous quest around 30, 75 near some rocks, and then when I got to this quest he was at the end/top of the cave at 33, 69. Same cave with the Troggs you need for http://www.wowhead.com/quest=26147.
The entrance to the cave is at 32.8, 70.4

It appears that these beasts in Loch Modan are following the lead of a chieftain named Grawmug. He's the biggest of all the troggs here, lurking deep within the darkness of the caves to the north. If you feel yourself worthy, {name}, I want you to lead the assassination mission on Grawmug.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Bigger and Uglier
The Mountaineers tell me you are quite brave and capable, <name>. We need a <race> like you around here. The Trogg problem isn't getting any better. The reserves have been called to the front and we're all alone out here. But now that we have a seasoned <class> here, let's see what you can do.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Looking for Lurkers
I don't know about you, but I'm not much a fan of spiders, much less the kind that come bigger than me. Loch Modan's a gorgeous place, but I'd say it could do without those horrid things waltzing around. Tell you what, I've got some spare coin, and you look like a tough one.
