The eggs that you have to destroy are just in front of the damn under water. You can also finish the slitherer quest at the same time,...easy peasy!
Also, curiously, the first quest since vanilla where the quest giver gave neither a buff nor an item to provide underwater breathing. At least, I could not find an item and I had no buff when I left him.
Another sign, similar to the one where healers OOM every few pulls, that the old-school quest design is back.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Trespassers in the Water
Shortly after Uldum's protective barriers fell, the Vir'naal river became afflicted with a terrible corruption. Whether it was brought here maliciously or accidentally is not of great significance. The result is the same.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Defilers' Ritual
Ah, I can already see more clearly, <name>. We are right to be wary of the evil Neferset. I can already sense that they're behind the forces that corrupt the river. Go underwater once more and find the Murkdeep Cavern. You will find the Neferset are performing a foul ritual of corruption.
