I have started having issues with this quest. I would have the attack start and would try and kill the troll but I would not get credit for the kill or be able to loot him. I did finally get through by basically standing in front of his face and when his shield is dropped pull him to the back of his cave so the other elves weren't attacking him.

What to do
Description
Their leader and his guard are before us. My Sentinels are ready to take care of his guard, we only awaited this arrow to seal their leader's fate. Let me know when you are prepared to attack. As soon as my Sentinels engage, I will shatter the leader's shield, and we will assault him together. Strike swiftly and we can rout this threat to our lands here and now. We await only you - speak to me when ready.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Front Line
Their forces are weakened, their supplies destroyed, and their subleaders are dead. It is time for us to take this fight to their home, and their leader. I'm admittedly still in the dark as to what spurred their sudden aggression, but perhaps we will find some answers on their doorstep.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Disturbing Connections
The letter from Garrosh Hellscream makes clear the suspicions that were raised during the offensive on the Shatterspear. The presence of forsaken at the tower ruins and horde supplies and enforcers at the Shatterspear War Camp were only the start.
