As of right now in the beta, there's barely any mobs in the area that count towards the quest. PLENTY of Nazmani Trolls (which the quest says to slay), but only a very small number seem to count for the quest. Just Ravagers and Ritualists seem to count, the Warriors, Drudges, and Disciples DO NOT.

That's what's happening in 8.1 again, currently trying to do this quest, it's taking ages.
Yeah, this was re-broken in 8.1. Only [npc=133279], [npc=133181], and [npc=133347] are giving credit, and there are not many of any of those types. Best way to do this in its bugged state is to take the path leading up that is off to the right after you leave Brann; there are a decent amount of ritualists and drudges up there.

Description
The rumors o' the blood trolls from back in Boralus don't line up with the letters from Captain Conrad. Open to trade? Willin' to work with us against the Horde? Ready to teach us their magic? Hogwash. Only time worth spendin' with these evil trolls is time killin' 'em.

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.
- Zul'Nazman
Not sure if I like this Harry fella. He's growin' on me, though. Got some wild ideas about the blood elves, but he's not all bad. What were we talkin' about? Ah, right. Captain Conrad. He said the Captain went to Zul'Nazman ta commune with the blood trolls there. Seems... less than well planned.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Offerings to G'huun
Been watchin' these cultists with both good eyes. Those big glowin' jars o' theirs look important. Opened one up and it sent a shiver down me spine, but nothin' seemed worth the takin'. If it ain't worth stealin', I guess it's worth smashin'.
