TheWoWDBWhen I started this quest it appeared as though there were absolutely no naga at all. I had to run all the way to the far back of the beach (keep running along the line of defenders until you hit the cliff side) for them to start spawning.

I was about to pull out my own SPINE because of this quest. For some classes it will be a piece of cake, but for casters it can be a pain because of the Slows and Frostbolts of the Blackscale Mistresses.
Golden tip: don't go towards the sea so much. Stay on the grass, close to the defenders.
This quest is a pain for just about everyone. The spawn rate is very fast and with the companion quest to pick up the mortars, you will very easily find yourself overrun.
The melee mobs throw you around with kockbacks while the casters have a pretty annoying Frostbolt slow.
Also note that their leash range is abnormally long and running away might not do you that much good.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Northern Flank
I have ordered a defensive perimeter set up on our northern coast, at the Slithering Cove. Our scouts reported that the naga were trying to make landfall there. Gralok is in charge of the operation - report to him and secure that beach!
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Shells on the Sea Shore
I salvaged these mortars from the wreck of our airship when she detonated above Dragonmaw Port. But ammunition is in short supply! While you're running along the beach, do me a favor and pick up any unexploded mortar shells you find.
