TheWoWDBIs it just me or are the spawns for these elementals just absurdly awful?

A World of Warcraft quest in The Ringing Deeps. Facts and objectives from the current retail game data.
The highest voted Wowhead comments for this page. They are community notes, not TheWoWDB comments.
Twenty years of making quests, and Blizzard still pulls this awful stuff, funnelling all players doing doing the main campaign into a quest with horrible respawn times.
Lots of these Campaign quests have dreadful spawn rates and drop rates. It's a glaring flaw in what otherwise has been a stellar expansion so far.

Description
<ZZ-01-47 twitches back and forth, sensors scanning unceasingly. They seem afraid of this area, if they're even capable of feeling fear. Maybe clearing out some of the elementals will set them at ease.>
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.
- Putting the Works in Waterworks
Overly enthusiastic kobolds, angry elementals, and a broken-down power plant. This place is in shambles! Do you spot those large wheels on each side? They should be moving, but they're not. We'll need to get those moving again if we want this place to come back to life.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Shadowvein Extraction
I sent Zee-Zee ahead to the Shadowvein extraction site. From what they transmitted back it looks like the area is swarming with rock worms and covered in this... discharge. I gave them an upgrade while we were waiting for you.
