TheWoWDBCultists are spread throughout the whole village. There's not a ton of them, so if there's several people questing, expect to wait for respawns.
Also while doing this quest you will most likely have The Favor of Zangus drop, which begins a quest to kill the cultist's leader.

After grinding through a ton of respawns of these guys up in the village, on my way out, I discovered that if you jump down from the building on the southern edge of the village, there's another cliff below it with lots of these guys. They're trying to tether the Anub'ar Blightbeasts, up on top of the waterfall.

Description
The Anub'ar cultists are indirectly responsible for the plaguing of the beasts, and we must put an end to it! The fumes that emit from the cultists' suits seep into everything they come near, poisoning and corrupting their surroundings. You must go north to Icemist Village and slay them. Bring back any of their suits that survive your assault and I will see to it that they are properly disposed of.

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.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Liquid Fire of Elune
<race> will you assist me? The Scourge have moved into Icemist to the north. Wherever they go, they spread their taint, and the creatures of the land suffer. Take this vial, which is filled with the liquid fire of Elune from the moonwell.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Favor of Zangus
An inscription on the back of the favor reads, "To my favorite pupil, If you continue to show promise, I will teach you wonders beyond your imaginings. If you do not, I will have you destroyed! As ever, High Cultist Zangus" No doubt the warden at Stars' Rest will want to see this.
