TheWoWDBVery obnoxious quest. Ran around for 45 minutes doing this, the webs respawn very slowly, there aren't many of them and the drop rate is low. Overall id' say skip this, but its not possible, so i say chose a different hub.

If you have your Shadow Quality set to High, you may be able to tell which of the cocoons have nerubians in them. Their spidery figures will be silhouetted on the ground in front of the cocoon itself. It may also be visible as a larger shadow if you have your configuration set lower.
Edit: This may be something only those with certain systems will be able to see. I am running Mac OS X and have a Mac Pro with an ATI Radeon 1900 XT.
Casters beware: If you "kill" the webs from too far away, it will not count towards the quest. You have to be right next to the webs. Learned this the hard way...
Edit: Ok, you can stop with the down-voting now... perhaps I should add this was the case *for me* perhaps not for everyone (though I thought that went without saying... apparently not).

What to do
Description
We had the element of surprise on our side! We blew a hole in the side of the mountain and charged into Scourgeholme. Scourge opposition was fierce and it wasn't long until we were overwhelmed. We fell back to the valley and began raining artillery down on the Scourge that followed. This held them back for awhile until... Those monsters began using crusaders as living shields. We had to stop shelling for fear of killing our own soldiers. Free our crusaders trapped on the field outside the base, {class}!

We can't keep this pace up, lad. Once the breach was blown, the floodgates opened up. The Scourge have been pourin' through ever since with no end in sight! We need every able bodied man and woman to help keep the tide of evil at bay. Get out there and do yer share, friend.

Across the Valley of Echoes, west of here, and through the Breach, is the first Scourge encampment in Icecrown known as Scourgeholme. We fought a good fight at Scourgeholme and killed many Scourge, but in the end we were forced to retreat. Many soldiers were left behind - their fate unknown.
