TheWoWDBTo "collect" the mist you just need to walk or ride through the clouds of mist that appear in the area mentioned by the quest giver.
And though I did clear a space in my bags no icon for the collected mists appeared. So that could just be a minor bug. But besides that the quest is doable.

Do it while you are on your mount! Much faster! No need for dismounting!
You will get credit while mounted and running through the clouds. They appear to be pulsating so you might have to stop to get the credit.

Description
I knew death would come. I did not know that it would come this fast. I must buy time. The mist of the Upper Sumprushes is warm and fragrant. Such mist is nutritive to my kind. Gather this mist however you can... in jars, in vials, within the interior of your bags. Bring it back to me, and I can use it to remain corporeal for a bit longer.

- Mists' Opportunity
Now is the time to strike. Golgoss, Arconiss, and I will go east, into Jahesh's domain. Meet us there, and prepare for battle. Today, we restore the pride of our people.
