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.

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).
