The slider goes back and forth between air and water, you have to keep it in the middle balanced between the two. Drop your wind totem on the ground and click it if you need to move toward wind, or click the three water vortexes if you need to move towards water. My problem is I'm at 100% and it won't complete. EDIT: retried when other people in the area had cleared out and it completed.

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.
