You need to do starting Talador quests in Voljin pride or Fort Wrynn(building and so on) in order to make this quest availabe
This quest is pretty easy if you have AoE. Don't waste your time killing the mobs one by one. There'll be loads of mobs surrounding Vindicator Nobundo. Just stand near the Auchindoun Defense Crystal and cast your AoE spell on the mobs surrounding the aforementioned NPC. When they come rushing, the Crystal will handle them for you.

Description
Auchindoun is under attack! The Auchenai are valiant warriors in their own right, but they cannot hold against these endless demon hordes alone. We came here to stop the Legion from engulfing Draenor... working together is our best shot. I need you to thin out the demons' numbers so we can regroup our forces safely and push forward into the Burning Front. We will stop their march here and now!

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.
