Thank god - but for me, the coil was to the left if I was facing the wall.
I also found the coiled rope on the left side of the shimmering wall, just back a little bit along the edge of the stone wall at ground level:- /way 69.05, 69.04

Description
To secure the fortress we need to kill Witch Lord Morkurk, but I don't think we should go straight after him. His three lieutenants - Vorgorsh, Zulmork, and Cromaug - are all powerful mages, and all of them are fiercely loyal to Morkurk. I suspect that if we engage the Witch Lord that they will rush to his aid. Let's take them out so that cannot happen.
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.
- Prized Repossessions
The Gordunni have plagued the people of Shattrath ever since the city was founded. Over time they amassed quite a hoard of weapons they captured from our defenders in raids.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Lord of the Gordunni
Witch Lord Morkurk is the leader of the Gordunni. We need to kill him to secure the jovite for use in our artillery tower. Morkurk is an accomplished mage so you better be prepared. Here, take the rocket pack and use it if you need to avoid any of his deadly magic. Archenon poros!
