TheWoWDBThis quest might be bugged since 5.2.
It would not complete, just kept going round in circles even though I had killed all required.
Had to log out and then in again in order to lose the sea horse !

you have to speak to Fiasco Sizzlegrin FIRST. he is the goblin right outside the door of the building you just got the quest from. you will see him as soon as you leave the building. you have to talk to him first and he puts you on an auto-pilot seahorse that rides you around while you bombs the npcs. just like all those old quests where they flew you around and you bombed certain npcs. when you have killed all of them it will automatically take you to the place where you turn the quest in. hope that helps!
ATTENTION ROGUES
I highly recommend NOT completing this quest, you can manually swim up to the platform these hundreds of mobs are on and pick pocket every single one, you can do a full circuit and never stop picking pockets here, it is amazing.
Kudos to the person who posted this information on the Flame-scarred junkbox page & have fun lock picking rogue friends.

We have everything we need to begin the attack. If your claims were correct, you would do well to make sure you cling tight to your mount as we make the run. Anyone who gets caught in the open water isn't likely to out-swim a naga. Kill as many as you can as we make the attack run and we'll rendezvous on the broken ledge of the southern terrace above once we've expended our explosives. Hopefully by that point there will be few enough that we can finish them off the old-fashioned way.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Properly Inspired
Been all over the place. Blown all kinds of things up. I thought I might have some trouble carrying on the trend, what with the water and all, but it's all just a matter of inspiration. I found something volatile enough to make bombs out of!
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Fallen But Not Forgotten
That was a disaster! Most of our men went down to spears before making it anywhere near the rendezvous. We're only going to be able to hold this position for so long before the naga overrun us.
