TheWoWDBIf you're doing the Triangulation series of quests (I'm on Triangulation Point Two so it may not work for the others), you can use the Triangulation Device to give yourself a 1 minute buff that will allow you to see the Ethereum Relays.
It makes the quest much less of a pain because you don't have to bother with the intermediary killing of Ethereals for essence.

You have to pick up Etherium Essence off the Ethereals at the Staging Grounds and drink it to allow you to see the Data Wyrmlings. Kill those and they drop the data you need.
56.36 is where the Staging grounds are fyi!

Description
They're using relays to transfer information around the staging grounds. There is only one way for you to see these relays and extract the information they hold. Unfortunately, doing so may cause you irreparable brain damage. If you're still interested, you'll need to slay Ethereum here at the staging grounds and take their essences. Once you have an essence, drink it down. It will temporarily allow you to see an Ethereum relay, giving you enough time to destroy a relay and extract its information.
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.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Ethereum Data
Look around you, fleshling. Very close to this transponder should be an Ethereum data cell. Locate that data cell, open it, and retrieve the contents. Bring it back to this transponder at once!
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- S-A-B-O-T-A-G-E
We must destroy the machinery that is making these nexus-stalker aberrations possible. To strike at their proto-accelerator would be futile as it is an ethereal creation. We must instead destroy the manaforge energy tube that they are using as a conduit.
