So let me get this straight. Shado-Pan, that is thousands of years old and trains it's monks to be resistant to sha's influence got overwhelmed and failed to keep it contained when horde and alliance arrived, their leader got corrupted and monastery overrun. And yet Garrosh thinks he can do a better job? Same Garrosh that spent half his life crying into a campfire in Outland.

It doesn't tell you anywhere that you need to go back to Domonation Point to get the next quest that sends you to Silvermoon... Just thought I'd mention it.
Upon completion:
Lor'themar Theron: Garrosh, you do truly believe the sha can be controlled? Have you seen what it's done to our men?
Ishi (A Mag'har Blademaster): Hold your tongue, blood elf! You dare question our Warchief's judgment?
Garrosh Hellscream: Calm yourself, Ishi. The Lord Regent may speak his mind.
Garrosh Hellscream: The sha can be a powerful tool. The mogu may have once harnessed its power into the Divine Bell, and look at the glorious empire they built in its wake.
Lor'themar Theron: But their empire fell. Perhaps to the sha, perhaps to the pandaren, or perhaps... to their own pride.
Garrosh Hellscream: Did the Scourge beat all the courage from your people, blood elf? We are the HORDE. Where there is power, we SEIZE it. My Horde has no place for the weak!
Lor'themar Theron: As you say... Warchief.

What to do
Description
If General Nazgrim sent you, then I trust you are capable of discretion. When I arrived here, I found Garrosh... experimenting... with some ancient power that he found in the mountains to the north. He believes that this "sha" can strengthen our soldiers. Unfortunately, so far the results have been quite the opposite. Our troops are erupting into random violence. Go and interrogate them. If they threaten you, be prepared to defend yourself.

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.

Ah, <name>. The Warchief has instructed me to dispatch you to Silvermoon. He grows impatient with the progress of Lor'themar's research and feels they might benefit from your... unique... experiences with the mogu. Go to Silvermoon and demand that Lor'themar increase the speed of his research.
