Fly to Irongrove Retreat, Suramar and then get the path following the south side of the river, starting around

/way 31.63 30.09 Start of path

Follow the path all the way to

/way 37.45 21.87 Portal to the bad guy

On the left side of the first NPC, there's the Lunar Crucible Portal. Click on it, you'll get teleported where you need to be. Talk to the NPC, and the rest is self explanatory :) You may want to use your Flight Master's Whistle to leave this place once you're done...

Objectives

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.
