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.
EDIT: there's 4 areas on the map where you can do this quest, but one of them also spawns the boss, go to this area as there will be more players and the spawn rate will be much much higher

I don't understand the "don't try to compete" comment. The loot drops for everyone who tags a mob. Cooperation dramatically speeds up the process. Having said that, it's faster still to look at your map and move to the locations where the Primal Lord mobs spawn. There are pretty much always large groups of people farming there...

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!

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.
