Be sure to complete this quest before moving on to the cauldron. I finished all the other quests in the quest line and now can't turn this quest in. Still awaiting a response from a GM I'll update after.
Edit: The gm completed the quest for me and gave me the rewards

Description
See that Iron Horde camp to the south, across the water? We've been watching their movements for days. We've seen a lot of correspondence between their lieutenant and the Iron Horde command in Nagrand. We need to disrupt their operation. Gather their supplies, and bring me their leader's head.
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.
