There is a bug with this quest where you will board the Shredder, but will be unable to use any of it's abilities. I was too lazy to figure out the exact cause of the problem but what I did was dismiss my pet (I'm a Felguard/sl/sl Warlock) and then disable all my add-ons and then the Shredder worked.

The add-ons I use are: Afflicted, Broker Factions, Cartographer, CCWatcher, Cirk's Rebar, MSBT, Omen, Outfitter, Postal, Proximo, Quartz, Recount, Telo's Lootlink, TitanBar, Trav's UFE, and Deadly Boss Mods.

If any enterprising player wants to look into this bug then one of those add-ons (or combination of them) prevents you from using the Shredder's abilities, even though you can summon and mount it.

Description

Next up, we need to haul in some lumber for all the towers the Alliance are building. There are some thin trees to the south, but the trees the harpies are nesting in to the north look much more fit for structures. Take this. When you get to the harpy nesting area, use the control and one of my Shredders should come to you. Gather as much lumber as it can carry. The harpies are sure to disagree with you chopping down their homes - just deal with them as necessary. Hop to it!

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.

    Those troops are sure to be needin' a hefty supply of food in their bellies. I'll let you in on a little secret that a squeamish <race> like you would never know... those jormungar worms taste just like chicken. Go provoke one of those giant hulking jormungar to the east.

    <class>, did you see that? That's the harpy that's been leading the attack on our shipments to the gate! I've seen her in the back of Coldwind Heights before. Those harpies have slowed our profits long enough! Kill them all.
