Thought it was a bug when I didn't receive a reward, turns out hunters don't get one for this quest.

what wowhead doesn't tell you is that you have to complete all of Groundskeeper Wu's quests.
Did all the quests and did not get the achievement. Oh well.
--ETA
I am leveling my second 'toon and patiently followed all the questlines (I was not in a hurry and it was rewarding to enjoy all the cinematics and the storyline) in Jade Forest, only missing one (I finished it later while looking for Golden Lotus) involving reducing the Sha NPCs near the Jade Serpent shrine.
I did not get a reward for the quest, because mages don't get a reward. I also did not see the banner on my screen for the achievement. I logged out and in again and the achievement was noted in my listing.

Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Rumpus
Master Stone Fist has trained you in the art of one-on-one combat. Now you learn the art of one-on-many. How does fifty sound? Lower yourself into the Ring of Inner Focus below, then, when you're ready, set off this firework. My assistants will come at you, several at a time.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Defiance
The damn mogu hit us out of nowhere! Anyone they don't kill on sight is being dragged away into the woods. This is the only safehouse, and its all I can do to hold the door. What do you say, friend? Are you willing to stand up and fight for the weak?
