TheWoWDBTo others who is having trouble handing in this quest upon completion, the NPC is no longer in the cave, but on top of the mountain, even though the map shows otherwise.
It is a bug from the beta which still haven't been fixed.
Just to prevent anyone else getting stuck on this quest line.

I don't know if anyone else was confused like me, but the mobs are NOT IN THE CAVE, but above it. You need to go out again.
To get here from the Skyhorn flight path you go north and follow the path going right. Do not go into the cave, but go past it. On the left there will be a trail that leads up the mountain. Follow that and the turn in will be right at the top.
