TheWoWDBAs a little clarification:
Go to the above coordinates, and you'll find yourself in a cave. There are some hostile mobs there; these are not what you want. Keep going down the cave and you'll find Slumbering Mjordin(Neutral). You will want to interact with these like any other NPC. They will have a dialogue option and when you click it they will either turn in to a normal hostile target which you must kill, or Iskalder.
Iskalder is an elite mob, and when you find him you'll get a raid warning saying something along the lines of "You have found him! Now is the time to use the The Bone Witch's Amulet!" He is an elite, but he wont do too much damage to you before the cast goes off.
After this you have to return to the bone witch. 2 helpful (I hope) facts:
1. He will not assist you in combat.
2. He can despawn, but it isn't as easy as I believed from other comments. I got on my flyer and just ran on the ground until something agro'd and then flew up to despawn.Maybe too much information for a simple quest, but I was a bit confused and that's what this site is for, right?
Edit: map.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Through the Eye
We must use the Lich King's tools against him if we are to decide our next step. Over the mountain to the southwest lies Kul'galar Keep. Within it reside the oracles of Jotunheim who receive orders from their master and scry upon others through the Eye of the Lich King.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Not-So-Honorable Combat
Atop the tallest peak to the southwest overlooking Jotunheim is Battlescar Spire. It is a place of reverence for the vrykul, second only to Valhalas in terms of where they prefer to do honorable combat. We shall visit not-so-honorable combat upon it. Gather your companions and fly to the spire.
