I did severel quests without getting this quest completed - tried severel different types looking for what appeared to be elite and rare.
A wq starting with DANGER:... completed it for me.
Edit: Did a 'WANTED' wq for one of the other hatchlings and it didn't get completed, so it appears the DANGER quests are the ones to go to...

All world quests prefixed with 'DANGER: ' are considered Rare Elite World Quests and will grant credit.
There are also quests which lack the prefix but should also give credit.
I personally had success with Sick of the Sycophants in Suramar.List of quests with type 'Rare Elite World Quest' from the Wowhead database:
- Azsuna
DANGER: Arcanor Prime
DANGER: Chief Treasurer Jabrill
DANGER: Fjordun
DANGER: Immolian

DANGER: Karthax
DANGER: Kosumoth the Hungering

Blue = rare, golden dragon = elite, so you want a world quest that has both.
Qualifying quests are labeled as "Type: Rare Elite World Quest" in the quick facts section in the upper right on wowhead. Or check this list.
Or you could just get credit for no apparent reason as I once did.
