TheWoWDBI can confirm, that you have to complete Mortar the Point from Bombardier Captain Smooks (who apparently has 2 positions in the game, one at Talrendis Point, Azshara, where he hands out 2 other quests in a different questline and one at the Southern Rocketway, Azshara, where he hands out the above mentioned quest) before you can start this questline.

Description
The Naga invaders have set up a series of shrines along the cliffs. I don't know their purpose, {name}, but I believe they're strengthening our foes. I need someone to get in there and root out this threat. One nearby shrine is lightly defended: Cross the first bridge east of here and then head north towards the bay. You'll find it on a small outcropping. Investigate that shrine and come back with some info I can use.
Where to go

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- To Gut a Fish
It tries my patience, defending against creatures who can disappear into the sea at will and emerge where they please. But I will not back down until their like has been wiped from Azshara. Spitelash Naga have slithered up the cliff walls and are besieging this post from the east.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Keystone Shard
The air around this strange stone crackles with energy. The stone itself is smooth and icy cold. It pulses periodically as you run your hands over it, like the crashing of surf. A wedge-shaped piece appears to be missing from the top surface of the artifact.
