This quest reminds me of Russian nesting dolls.
You will need five (5) open bag slots before you begin this quest. You will also need to kill three (3) different types of mobs in order to complete this quest:
The Tainted Screecher has the chance to drop Screecher Brain. You need two (2) Screecher Brains for the quest, which you will make (right-click) into Screecher Brain Paste. This was the lowest drop rate for me. Go after these first. I killed about 10-15 of them before I got my two brains.
The Tainted Black Bear has the chance to drop Tainted Hide. You need four (4) of these for the quest, which you will make into a Tainted Hide Pouch.
The Tainted Nightstalker has the chance to drop Nightstalker Legs. You will need twenty (20) of these, which you convert (right-click) into Crushed Nightstalker Leg.
You will combine (right-click) the two Screecher Brain Pastes and the 20 Crushed Nightstalker Legs into a Demoniac Commixture. (Make sure you have the correct number of each item or else you will not be able to make the Commixture.) Once you have the Commixture, you will place (right-click) it into your Tainted Hide Pouch, creating you your Demoniac Vessel.
Return to Mayor Charlton Connisport in Surwich to complete the quest for 250 reputation with Gilneas and Cenarion Expedition. The follow-up quest is The Downfall of Marl Wormthorn.

Whose idiot idea was it to force you to abandon the quest the moment you discard any of the quest items, no matter how little you needed them?
I suggest going after the screecher brains first. As you go after these, the spiders and bears will also attack you and you'll get some of the other items.
I can confirm the low drop rate. 11 bats = 2 brains. That says something for their intelligence.
I also suggest not starting to put things together until you have enough. It eats up bag space.The least number of slots you will need is 5.

What to do
Description
We need a way to get Wormthorn's attention. Something to break him out of his trance. Something that's guaranteed to work. The few types of wildlife that managed to make a foothold in the Tainted Forest are, without a doubt, affected by the land's latent energies. Your task is to collect their body parts and find a way to combine them into a vessel. If Wormthorn's trance is druidic, or even if it is demonic, a large enough vessel of tainted animal flesh should be able to break it.

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.
- Advice from the Cenarion Circle
I believe that the taint of the Blasted Lands has finally exerted its influence over my friend Wormthorn. His experiment has failed, and his great-tree now only serves as a focus for the demons to rally around. The tree must come down, and Wormthorn with it.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Downfall of Marl Wormthorn
When word gets out about what we've done... there's no saying what the citizens of Surwich will do. They cling so closely to Wormthorn's dream... ...but still, it must be done. Take the demoniac vessel and use it on Marl Wormthorn to pull him from his trance. Return to me when he is no more.
