This stuff is pretty much everywhere near the base, mostly near the green lava
At 38, 42 there is a whole line of them with maybe 1-2 mobs guarding them. You can get at least 10-12 running in a line around the ridge line stopping every 5 yards to pick up the ash.

What to do
Description
Have you felt the cold chill? Perhaps what you thought was a hand on your shoulder? That was not your mind playing tricks on you, {race}. The land is haunted. Ghosts litter the landscape, stuck here for all eternity. Would you like to see them? Are you sure about that? These types of things tend to change a person - and not for the better. Very well, I will need you to collect for me the ever-burning ash that is found near any of the fel lava pools of western Shadowmoon. Anywhere near green lava...

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.
- Teron Gorefiend - Lore and Legend
Stories abound about the life of Teron Gorefiend, but most are just that - stories. We do not know what happened to Gorefiend after he returned to Draenor. The only thing we are certain of is that he has already died once.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Spectrecles
I call them "Spectrecles." Clever, no? When you equip these goggles, you will be able to see the spirits of Shadowmoon Valley. Before I let you have them, though, you must promise me that you will help us clear out the ghosts at the village.
