The area in which you can farm the mobs is MUCH larger than what is shown on the map.
Don't try to compete with others on finding mobs, just fly away and farm in the general area outside of the bounds marked on the map and you're fine.

You can not do this quest in a raid group

If you're having trouble figuring out where to go to complete the quest, it helped me to leave the city (Stormwind or Ogrimmar) . When I started flying around Elwynn Forest, the yellow arrow appeared on the mini-map and the quest indicator finally showed on the main map (Badlands).

Description

These Primalists are relentless, unleashing elemental devastation across the Eastern Kingdoms and Kalimdor. You must show the same determination, {name}. It is the only way to stop them. Find their next incursion, remove the enemies within the primal storm area before it is too late and foil their efforts. We must protect Azeroth!

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.
