TheWoWDBFor some reason, I didn't get an extra action button popping up when I picked up the keg, as I should have. I abandoned the quest and tried again. It still didn't work. (Maybe an addon issue? Not sure. The extra action button worked fine for other quests).
If you have that problem as well, you can make a macro.
/click ExtraActionButton1
Put that on your spellbar and if you click on it, you will see the spell circle and be able to aim it at the correct location on the cobwebs covering the cave.

Description
The meadery is evacuated and the explosives are primed. It is time to bait the nerubians into our trap. Your compatriot is by the nerubian burrow north of here. She told me her directive is to keep watch over it in case the nerubians make a move before we are ready. So far they have not made a move and may now need... coaxing. Take a keg of cinderbrew to the burrow. Tossing it in should stir their "nest." Rendezvous with us back at the Meadyard--quickly--after.

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.
- Evacuation Area
Look, you can blow up my life's work if it is our only choice, but I will not put my workers in danger. This was the path we all chose, but I won't have them sacrifice themselves to fire or nerubians for it. Tell them that I said they need to get out of here immediately.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Bring the Thunder
The nerubians will strike out in anger and pride--which is exactly what we want. They will swarm the meadery soon, seeking to punish us for attacking their burrow. We will hold them here on the ground while you take to the skies. When Zirix appears to command his army, we will light the fuses.
