I use Cartographer to get the fractional coordinates. It really helps in this area, as stuff is so close together.Also while in this area, watch out for these mobs, each of them drops an item that starts a simple quest. Great exp if you do all 4!

I found them all in one room houses. (you can see them, by looking in the door). There is 1 guard in each house but patrols walk by.

Description
The Kirin Tor sent one other of Krasus's possessions with our expedition. It was his spellbook, called Krasus's Compendium. Containing all the spells he mastered, it lent us a much-needed advantage in the war. Before Kael'thas and his forces laid siege to Kirin'Var, the compendium had been stolen from me by a rebellious apprentice intent on studying necromancy. The apprentice and his followers divided and studied the text in secret, locking themselves inside their houses in the southern part of town.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Building a Perimeter
We are prepared to try to construct a perimeter around the village using the energy source taken from the blood elves. I can't guarantee that it will work, but we have to attempt it. Otherwise, the mana creatures will surely continue devouring the spirits of the fallen Kirin Tor.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Torching Sunfury Hold
Ridding Sunfury Hold of its garrison is not sufficient to keep the blood elves from reoccupying it. Kael'thas's followers are zealous and tenacious. Leaving them anything to use at Sunfury is effectively an invitation to return. No, it must all be destroyed.
