You can return this quest at Tyrande Whisperwind who is at the Temple of Elune in Val'sharah. Currently the quest doesn't show where to turn in after completing it.
It is mislabled as "group" which is where it confused me. Technically it is a group... that requires entering a dungeon.

Description
We could not save Ysera, but we did prevent her from destroying the temple. Now I can finally turn my attention to my husband. I do not know what fate he suffers now. I only know that if we stand any chance of saving him, you must go now. Follow Xavius into the Nightmare and find Malfurion. Please, save my husband if you can.
