if you get to the town and nobody is there drop the quest. Go back up to the Road leading into town and Whisperwind will be waiting to give the quest again.
Once you follow her into town malfurion will be in the 2nd house on the right.
The next spot he will be at is by the lake but it is not the one in front of the raid instead he will be at location 62. 33.
You will then find him 59.32 in front of the darkheart thicketing meeting Stone
And lastly you will not find him in town per se; rather, near 57.38 just near the entrance of the emerald nightmare instance where it will go to a cutscene.
When you finish, Tyrande whisperwind will be waiting to complete the quest.
Hope this helps

Description

He is near, {race}, I can feel it. We must search Shala'nir for Malfurion. If we do not find him soon, I fear he will be lost to me forever. I was unsure of your worth when first we met. I know now that you will not fail me. I am... grateful.

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.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

Softening the TargetVal'sharah · Level 10-45
The Archdruid's end draws near. His memory will live on in the hearts of all who knew him. Elothir's desperate efforts revealed that Malfurion is being held in Shala'nir, amidst the roots of Shaladrassil. My love. So near, yet so far.... Shala'nir is infested with Nightmare creatures.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

The Fate of Val'sharahVal'sharah · Level 10-45
Malfurion, my love.... My heart breaks for him, but I cannot follow where he goes. I have sworn myself to Elune, my goddess, to defend her temples and lands with all that I am. I cannot stand by while my order is in danger. May she keep you in her graces, Malfurion.
