In BetaAs of 05. September 2016 You still cannot start this quest after completing objectives for Bringer of the Light quest http://legion.wowhead.com/quest=44004/bringer-of-the-light (the quest from Velen). While the yellow exclamation mark still appears on Exodar map, Nobundo offers no quest whatsoever. Pick it and defend him before safeguarding terrified citizens and destroying portals.According to comments below, if you miss it, you can leave group to reset the scenario.
When fighting waves, try to protect the Dranenei from incoming mobs, and keep as many of them alive as possible, beceuse they do a lot of healing and also dps.
Also 2 potentially useful ways to complete it for undergeared characters (or without healing) to choose from:
01. From Somtaaw's comment:
Soon as you've spoken to Velen about the object and he asks you to save his people and close portals, rush straight to Nobundo. The earlier you get here, the more Shaman's are alive, which leads to more dps on the waves.
02. From RAc0t:The key to success is to close the all 8 portals for the other quest (without saving the citizens yet), then it seems much easier to complete. I (as fire mage) had 3 tries before closing portals and there were just to many mobs each wave. But after I closed portals I even had small (1-2 seconds) gaps between new spawns, which leads to Nobundo had more health for the final stage and to my victory!
Good luck everyone!

Go ahead and do yourself a favor with this quest by skipping it. It takes a very long time for minimal reward, plus the difficulty on any class that cannot heal would put it near impossible. Nobody likes Nobundo, anyways.
"...you apparently cannot start this quest after completion of Bringer of the Light quest...It also appears you can only start the quest before completing objectives for Prophet Velen, not just before turning it in. So start it before releasing all terrified citizens and before destroying all portals."Still true as of August 31st.
So, if you really want to do this, get cracking when you arrive in the Exodar.
(this whole story line is awesome, but I'm not sure how much this side quest adds to it)

Description
The Exodar shook from the force of the Legion's arrival. Before we could react, demons were running rampant through the halls, slaughtering everything in their path. If it were not for the Prophet, we would have all perished in the initial assault. I was charged with evacuating the Crystal Hall, which is when my Broken and I were separated from the main force. We fell back into the collapsed hall to make our last stand. With your aid, we may survive this invasion.

"You did not ask for this burden, but it is what fate has deemed." Turalyon's haunting last words still echo in my mind. I worry about the fate of the draenei... about the fate of my friend, Velen; but we must remain vigilant, <name>! For now, Light's Heart remains under your watchful eye.
