The turn-in place for this quest is a bit frustrating to find. Some screenshots to (hopefully) make your life easier:
1. You first need to enter Shadowfall canyon; it's that underground place with the pale guys and elementals. You can find the entrance to Shadowfall canyon from 54, 64.3 in Nagrand, which is where I'm stood in this screenshot.
2. Once inside, you need to go into a cave which is located within Shadowfall Canyon; in this screenshot, I'm stood at 58.0, 62.8 and facing west, toward the mouth of the cave. You can see the way I came in from to the upper left of the picture.
3. After you go into that cave, keep following the road, and eventually you will come into an area where on your minimap you'll see where both the turn-in for Dark Binding and Greyseer are (here's how it looks on your minimap). As you can see, I'm stood at 59.91, 27.70 at that point.
Hope this helps.
"He" in this case is the quest giver. Don't return to the surface.

What to do
Description
Even as we speak, the pale within Shadowfall Canyon are enslaving the elements to their will. Many elemental spirits have already been enthralled, and more will follow. The pale must be stopped and the elementals they enslave set free. Journey into Shadowfall Canyon and set free those elemental spirits which are not fully enthralled by the pale. As for the elementals already enslaved by the pale, the only mercy we can give them now is to release their bonds through death.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Call of Oshu'gun
The elements have spoken and a vision has been revealed, <name>. Together we shall travel to the great mountain Oshu'gun and put an end to the dark disturbance there. If what you saw in the vision is to be believed, then great danger awaits us.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Pale Threat
The Pale are wretched creatures that hide beneath the ground, ever plotting against those who dwell upon the surface. They stalk the Underpale, a twisted and dark cavern beneath Oshu'gun. If we are to succeed in stopping Cho'gall we must fight our way through their ranks beneath the earth.
