The mobs on the eastern side of Shattrath appear to drop them, these were for the most part non elite. These areas include Shattrath Market District, Shattrath Commons, the area between the anchorage and the market district, and finally the Anchorage. For those looking at the map, anywhere east of the words Shattrath City, and Northeast of the area with water divided into four sections. You can also kill rares throughout Shattrath which from my experience drop 5 each. The normal mobs in the area i described are much quicker though.

Most of the mobs are found in the eastern and north part of Shattrath, it includes the Market, Commons and Docks areas. The following list is of all mobs that I could find and the quantity of the insignias that they drop (between brackets):

- All rares found within quest area (except Ourmo) (5)

- Fel Legionnaire (3)
- Sargerei Huntsman (3)
- Unstable Elemental (3)
- Sargerei Destructor (3)
- Marauding Destroyer (3)
- Deceptive Shadowblade (3)
- Doomcrusher (3)

- Guardador Saqueador (2)
- Sargerei Summoner (2)
- Sargerei Soul-Twister (2)
- Conniving Shadowblade (2)
- Concubine of Sin (2)
- Council Soulspeaker (2)
- Imp Charmer (2)
- Sargerei Felbringer (2)
- Ambassador Hellmaw (2)

I hope this list helps you to find the mobs location. I did it solo but you can bring some people to help you though.

This quest appears to cover the entirety of Shattrath (the lvl 100+ area) as the working zone. From what I've experienced so far, you have to gather 100 medallions at the rate of 5 per rare (lvl 101-102) (excluding Ourmo, though that could have just been bad luck on my part).

The good news is it does appear to be possible to gather the medallions while in a raid group, which is going to be near necessary to make this happen.

Edit: Shattrath Harbor Daily area also drops these. Lvl 100s @ 2 ea, 101 @ 3 ea.

Description

The Shattrath offensive is going well, but Socrethar refuses to show himself. And despite our best efforts, we are unable to break into the inner city, where he resides. However, we think we can lure Socrethar out of hiding. Defeat his lieutenants and warriors, then 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 ShattrathLevel 40

    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 DemiseLevel 40

    Meet me down by the entrance to the Shattrath dome. There, we shall issue our challenge to the Sargerei leader. If he accepts, it is there that he shall meet his end. I must admit, <name>, I am looking forward to this.
