The hook is barely visible, it is about 5 yards left from the flower where the NPC was.
Looks like Alliance one is on the left, Horde one is on the right.

Description
The Gordunni have only a single path to their fortress and it is well-defended from a large attack. Thankfully they wont be expecting just the two of us to be attempting to break in. This is a great opportunity to take out their defenses and get some target practice for our artillery gunners back at the arsenal. Take these smoke grenades and use it to call in an artillery strike on their catapults as we head up.
Where to go
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.
- Going to the Gordunni
We have a good supply of jovite in the arsenal now but there just isn't enough of the material in the mine to keep us in stock for long. Down south of here there's a mountain that's just full of the stuff but there's one problem; Ogres!
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Supply Recovery
We seem to have arrived at just the right time! The Gordunni have been enchanting armaments for the Iron Horde and it looks like they haven't picked up the latest shipment. We could put that gear to far better use! Lets go hunt down their shipping containers.
