TheWoWDBI discovered a small bug while doing this quest. If Grong doesn't leave your side and doesn't get settled as a quest turn-in, abandon the quest and pick it up again. Probably happened because I stealthed past all the oncoming enemies (rogue).

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Freedom for the Da'kani
Have you seen the barbaric conditions to which the Da'kani are subjected? Corralled and caged, awaiting slaughter, or worse... I cannot leave here in good faith without first seeing that my kind are liberated.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Needs of the Many
Ever since the kaja'mite began bubbling around the gorge, I have been searching for meaning. Why was I burdened with intelligence? What is my purpose? I have found my answers in the Embiggifier. I was meant to help the Alliance defeat the Horde.
