TheWoWDBInsignia drop from rare and common mobs on the eastern side of Shattrath City. I found them in the Commons and Marketplace areas as well as the area leading to the docks. See map above (ignore the quest area marked on your map, there aren't any mobs that drop insignia in the middle of Shattrath).

Shadowlands Prepatch. This quest seems to be bugged right now. I flew all over the city, but there are no mobs to kill, anywhere, at all.
I think it is a phasing issue. There are friendly forces everywhere, patrolling the city battlefield, as if they'd already won and reclaimed the city.
You can kill rare spawns in Shattrath that will drop 5 Sargerei Insignia each, you can also collect these quickly from mobs at the Shattrath Harbor they drop about 3 each which can be picked up quickly if you round up big mobs with at least one other person.

Description
The Shattrath offensive is going well, but Socrethar refuses to show himself. Despite our best efforts, we are unable to break into the inner city of Shattrath. The dome's defenses are simply too strong. However, we think we can lure Socrethar out of hiding. Defeat his lieutenants and warriors, and gather their medallions of service. When we show him proof of their demise, his pride will surely force him to face us.
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.
- Garrison Campaign: The Fall of Shattrath
Greetings, <name>. I bring another message from Archmage Khadgar. We can no longer ignore Socrethar's presence at Shattrath. He spreads dangerous beliefs, converting more draenei to his "new order" with each passing day. The time has come for us to confront him.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Socrethar's Demise
Meet me down by the entrance to the Shattrath dome. There, we will issue our challenge to the Sargerei leader. If he accepts our challenge, it is there that he shall meet his end. The creature that calls himself Socrethar was once my brethren.
