I got a bit confused with all the comments, so I've taken note to help others. =)

There are several quests that can be done all at once in this area along with High Cultist Zangus.

The guy is underground, in a cave. The entrance to the cave is near 27.50 where you can fall through one of the holes to the cave underground (small amount of fall damage) or find the walkway to get down, but it's hard to see.

Once you get down, you can start collecting Black Blood of Yogg-Saron for quest of the same name.

Walk towards 26.50 to complete From the Depths of Azjol-Nerub where you can pick up more from the bug and continue through the cave in the opposite direction.

Now that you've done all this, head toward 28.50 to slay High Cultist Zangus!

Phew!

Description

I witnessed his treachery with my own eyes! The traitor led an Anub'ar assault on this stronghold, taking out some of my best soldiers. <Gort shakes his head.> He'd been working with the Scourge the whole time and we didn't have a clue! How many more like Zangus are there? We'll find 'em all and when we do... <Gort makes a cutting motion across his neck.> First on the list is Zangus. Our scouts report that he is hiding in The Pit of Narjun, west of here. Find him, kill him, bring me his head.

Where to go

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.
