The quest bubble on the map is off. They are all in the water. Edit: There seem to be some on land as well, but I did not see those. Coords below are water spawns.

There is one at /way 53.47, 29.94
There is one at /way 53.53, 28.81
There is one at /way 53.85, 26.42

I wasted half an hour looking for these 3 so hopefully you didn't waste too much time before seeing this!

Description

If you've spent much time in Hallowfall, no doubt by now you've run across the foul magic of the kobyss. Reports that their illusions have been evolving are fiercely debated within the Arathi Army. Your outside perspective is just what I'm looking for. Venture to the Sunless Strand, slay a few of their illusory assassins, and then report your findings. You'll likely find them hiding in the shadows.

Where to go

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.
