There are three Argus hearthwells:
Hearthwell 1 - 64.0 24.8
Hearthwell 2 - 66.7 25.4
Hearthwell 3 - 65.1 26.0

After marking the 3 heartwells, Grand Artificer Romuul says, "The source of Raalgar's immortality is gone. At long last you can kill him and retrieve the Fel Heart of Argus." He'll say this even if you haven't finished killing all 8 garrison members yet.
This might lead one to think that you can go ahead and down Raalgar and finish mopping up after - HOWEVER - this is not the case! If you don't finish killing all the garrison members first, the Fel Heart doesn't drop from him.

What to do
Description
I have learned much. High Inquisitor Raalgar has moved to a base near the Legion citadel across the mountains. This is where he keeps the Fel Heart of Argus, the source of his immortality, and it is powered by wells leading directly to the core of Argus. He is preparing to attack so you will strike first. Mark the location of the wells and I will rain holy fire upon them with the Vindicaar's guns. With that connection to the fel on Argus broken, Raalgar can be killed and the Fel Heart retrieved.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Foiling the Legion's Jailbreak
High Inquisitor Raalgar has some connection to the fel here on Argus that makes him unkillable. Long ago, the naaru imprisoned him on the Arcatraz. When the forces of Kael'thas Sunstrider attacked the citadel, we were forced to flee on the Exodar.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Vindicaar Matrix Core
Much has happened on Argus that concerns me but none moreso than Xe'ra's fate. I wonder sometimes if we are doing the right thing? But we must carry on. I can rig the Matrix Core that powers the Vindicaar to allow you to call on the power of our guns when you have need of them on the planet.
