The quest marker brought me to the wrong spot originally. If you're in a similar situation patch can be found at (65.71, 45.08) just south west of Nazwatha.

your mouse pointer has to be on the Dominated Hydra so that the hydra's outline lights up. just getting the targeting circle on it is insufficient.
God, this quest was great. I was laughing my ass off the entire time, notably at the 'technical term being Forsaken', especially considering I main an undead hunter.
The Gob Squad are some of my favorite characters.

We have learned so much and came so far thanks to you and de Horde, but all of it will amount to nothing if de blood trolls defeat us here. We've all worked hard since we first set foot within dis accursed swamp, without a chance to even get any sleep or have a decent meal.
