To be fair, I looked it up as well.Well of course! It says right in the quest instructions, "Go look it up!" Anyone who didn't, failed to follow the instructions. ;)
That said, he lies. Not about the name, but he said one of the oozes took it. I killed all of them, and none of them had it. I eventually abandoned the quest. I suspect he pawned it off to buy ale and doesn't want to admit it...
Well, I guess I shouldn't mention that I got it on the first try...
And, btw, it really is called that: Wikipedia: Dumpy Level

What to do
Description
Alright, I need you to help me find my dumpy level. What's that look for? That's right! I said my dumpy level! It's a piece of significant surveying equipment! I didn't name the bloody thing, alright? Go look it up! All I did was leave it on a rock long enough for one of those horrible oozes to swallow it up. The place is crawling with 'em, but one of them should still have it inside.
Where to go
Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Drungeld Glowerglare
The Dark Iron clan is up to no good out here. And if that surprises you, you're thicker than the addled blotters over in that tent. Muradin may pay lip service to those sooty cretins back in Ironforge, but out here all bets are off.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Fenbush Berries
We're good on provisions, but we're in need of some medicine. Half the camp's fiercely hung over, and a remedy's in order. Luckily, I know a good folk remedy taught to me by my dear old mum. We just need some local ingredients. Gather me some fenbush berries, if you would.
