Nakk just stood there and did nothing. Likely because I was already standing there as he respawned.
You just have to run out and back in to trigger his script.
Tomb entrance at 53.3, 49.2, engage Nakk'rakas and he sends a few statues at you, kill them then him and done.

What to do
Description
The Mogu have been scattered and sparse in number for many years. Their purpose in the valley makes sense now. With this many restless spirits they can build themselves an army using the guardians buried in each tomb. Combined with the Zandalari forces this would be devastating! The Tomb of Secrets houses elite warriors called the Emperor's Shield. They must not be resurrected! You'll find the tomb on the highest rise to the southwest.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Tomb of Shadows
Given the artifacts you found on the altar, I would guess they were attempting to perform a Spiritbinding ritual. Most of the texts involving Spiritbinding were locked away in the Tomb of Shadows. Perhaps we will find the answers we seek there. Look for anything that might help us.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Stealing Their Thunder King
Our only hope is to find the Thunder King's remains before they do. He must be buried within the Tomb of Conquerors. Getting to his remains will not be easy, <name>. The tomb will no doubt be defended by guardians and other unfriendly surprises intended to ward off thieves.
