Some 15 attempts later... If you ever stop moving, you fail.
Since this is the top comment here, there's some clarification to add: This only applies if you're on foot. Do it mounted and you will have plenty of time to turn and line up each time. Be in a party and you can use raid markers, or World Quest List addon (and probably others) have a helper module to make it easier.
And I thought I hated Beachhead...
I struggled with this mightily. Then I learned you could do this mounted. This helped, but I was still failing, until I went clockwise as opposed to anti-clockwise as the last 2 legs of the rectangle have really good markers. This way, I could trace the first two legs while the shimmer was still present.

Where to go
Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.
