TheWoWDBYou can see the quest mobs only if you have
2010 stacks of [spell=420847] on you. Kill them and loot the quest items.You can build up the stacks of this debuff by using the several [object=443724] there.
Beware: Using a [object=434922] removes all debuffs instantly. Leaving the quest area does the same, but slower.EDIT: They tuned it down to 10 stacks.

Do this quest at the same time as Staunch the Flow. Destroy the Extractors (or Storage) to stack up the debuff [spell=420847] to 50. Avoid the Harmonizing Instruments as they clear this debuff. Once the debuff reaches 50, then you can collect [item=221776] and [item=217391]. If your debuff falls below 50, destroy more extractors. Keep destroying them and killing mobs to collect the quest items to push the debuff stack to 100 for The Unseeming!
When you turn this in - wait! Don't clear the debuff just yet, you need 50 stacks for the follow-on quest, Discordant Measures.
This is important! Thanks. As of today, this only needed 15 stacks

Description
This is far worse than I thought. It's as if they're feeding the corruption. Encouraging it. The dissonance growing louder and louder... <Orweyna seems shaken, but not deterred.> I can hardly hear anything else. My head is pounding. I... I need to see how far gone this land truly is. {name}. Bring me something from the Unseeming.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Staunch the Flow
Do they even understand what they are doing? <Orweyna bares her teeth, practically growling.> Destroy as many of those extractors as you can. Shatter the bulbs, snap the limbs, burn the wreckage. We cannot stop them all, not today. But a bit of destruction may temper my rage.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Discordant Measures
I cannot stand to look at this any longer. I must act. <name>. You have survived the Unseeming before. Now we must go there together. I must see it for myself if I am to believe this vile place truly cannot be cleansed.
