If you're having issues turning this quest in, fly away from the quest area to get Thisalee Crow to disappear then go back. She should reappear and you turn in the quest to her.
This is, without a doubt, one of the worst quests in World of Warcraft. Damaging a single mob aggros every single mob onto you. The reset distance is roughly half of the zone from the quest area. I had to switch to Guardian to complete this quest, and still managed to die 5 times.

Description
Skylord Shadegrove has been leading the defense of the shrine, but I think he's starting to lose hope. Clearly he needs some more firepower behind him! Let's take out these demons and fend off the attack. They'll never see it coming!
