There are 2 verions of him there. One sitting, and one lying. Talk the the one lying on the floor. Solved it for me.
Probably a mechanic bug when many people are doing the quest, as he sits up after you speak to him.

Gurrok Debriefed (spoiler alert!)
The conversation with Gurrok proceeds as follows:Many of us tried to escape the naga.
I am the only one who succeeded...
- Tell me your name, orc.
I am Gurrok, of Hellscream's Vanguard.
- How did you get down here?
We had them!
Wretched Alliance ships... we could've cut a path to Stormwind and put an end to them!
...But out of nowhere, gigantic tentacles reached up and seized our ship... broke it right in two!
The survivors... we were captured by naga as soon as we hit the water.
- Tell us about your captors, Gurrok.
Strange that the naga would go out of their way to keep us alive.
They created prisons from mystical pearls - cells that allowed us to breathe, but little else..
They ship the prisoners off... somewhere.
Never see them again....
- How were you able to get away?
One of our warriors broke free and smashed many of the prisons... we were free - at least for a moment.
Some swam up towards the surface... some saw this cave and swam for it.
I'm the only one that lived....
- Did you see Nazgrim and his troops?
I do not know what became of them.
There was a constant flow of captives. Horde and Alliance, both - all barely alive.
They must've been hauled away beyond the trench, or they have perished.
- What is there to report of these beasts, Gurrok? How do we defeat them?
Their numbers are too many to count. Their defenses look impenetrable.
I saw no weaknesses to exploit, <race>.
after a while clicking him while he was standing i relogged and found him sitting. thanks for the comment it really helps.

What to do
Description
This warrior was near death, but I fear we do not have the time to await his full recovery. He has information we desperately need to know. Be patient with him, but keep him talking until we've learned all that we can. With luck we might discover just what we're up against...

Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Spelunking
Hurry, <name>! Make your way to that cavern at once. We shall go behind you to ensure that you are not followed.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Wake of Destruction
Our time here draws to a close. I must somehow follow the trail of these naga captives if we are to discover their purposes in this region. But before I move on, I would see the destruction of this operation! Nevermind their numbers, I have a plan that has the potential to even the odds.
