Ok, after doing this quest 3 times for no reason, here's what you should know:

CLICK ON THE BALL AND CHAIN after obtaining the key FIRST. THEN and only then, you will be able to complete the quest.

Save yourself a high five to the face...click the ball and chain ;)

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.
