You have to kill a boss with 11 million hp, you have 3 allies that will tank him and do most of the damage. Eventually altars will spawn, then you just run around in a circle clicking the three good ones and avoiding the shadow one (it has black swirly stuff around it that damages you if you get close). Your allies can get killed during the battle, and if they do you have to walk up to them and right click them to cast a fast resurrection on them and get them back into the fight.
At about 10%, he kills all your allies and you have to click on a horn that one of them drops. It's very difficult to see it on the ground, even with an arrow marking it, but it's there. Once you click on it your allies rez and the fight is over shortly. Pretty easy but takes a long time.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Hammer of Twilight
While you were in the mine, I was able to figure out where the Hammer of Twilight is being kept. They created it at the Altar of Twilight to the south. More important than that, the cultists have made a critical error: Cho'gall is personally overseeing its final construction.
