Anyone else getting the feeling that these Blue Dragonflight quests were an intern's first day assignment? The incompetence on these things is staggering.
I got stuck but it didn't prevent me to complete the quest, as Haleh came close to be and I just clicked the Moonkin abilities.

Description
While you were working, I was inspecting the totemic ruins you retrieved. There has always been something odd about the Hidden Grove. It used to be occupied by a robust population of harmless white hares. Now there are only maddened owlkin and strange totems... I put the pieces together. It is no masterpiece, but hopefully we can glean a stronger magical effect from the whole. Maybe it will even make us sprout some feathers and fur. You would think as a blue dragon I would enjoy the cold, but no.
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.

Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Test Subject
Today is day forty-one without finding a harmful artifact. I am further delighted to report that while you were away, a handful more proved harmless. Perhaps my hunt in Winterspring is almost concluded! Come to think of it... you have some magical ability, don't you?
After this quest

Oh dear. I have an idea. Speak to me when you are ready.
