reason i came to wowhead was because it didnt count when i "freed" the stone drakes.
only other comment here talking about an "evade" problem. mine didnt, but it simply didnt count towards the quest. even when the drakes flew upwards after being freed.
what i did to make it work, was simply stand on top of the drakes while killing the felrock mystics. i did this quest as elemental (at level 102, most painful 2 levels of my life!), and when i pulled them too far away from the drakes, it simply didnt count.
hope this helps someone :)

Being too far away causes the quest to not count credit. Fight the troggs up close.
Awful, boring, cancerous slog of a quest. Took about 1 hour to complete on remix. I hate this bs so %^&*ing much its unreal.

Description
When that demon of yours fell into my realm he must have done something to the troggs. They were never a threat to my beloved stone drakes before. Now they're loose all over the Pale Roost, subduing drakes on the ground. Put a stop to this insult at once, and free those drakes! They may be of use to us later.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Troggs that Fel to Earth
"Demons" you say? A "Burning Legion?" Hrmph! Nothing burns here but for my ire, shaman, and if these monsters think to corrupt my domain, they will be crushed beneath my dainty beautiful feet! I have not seen this hammer of yours, but the stone troggs witnessed everything that fell from the sky.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Clutch Play
I confess the stone drake broodmother and I have had a rocky relationship in the past. She supported Deathwing during the Cataclysm, you know. But Aeosera has been put back in her place and it is my responsibility to protect her.
