TheWoWDBIt's definitely a trick to find, and the yellow dot that's placed on the world map for this quest only shows the entrance to the cave, not the location of the brazier itself. When you enter the cave, the passage curves left into a room with three exits. Take the left one and follow it around to the big room. This room contains the brazier where you use the quest torch.

What do we have here? A {race}? Come to steal our land with your honeyed tongue and promises? You do not fool me. I have lived a long time, and I know what dealing with your kind means. But the khans do not listen to their elders like they used to. Since you are here, I will put you to use. When the waters rushed in, the great water spirit, Aquarian, doused the Ancient Brazier deep inside of Splithoof Hold. Use this brand to reignite the brazier. Aquarian is sure to come. Bring me the Sacred Flame.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Get Koalbeard!
If we're going to get those oil drilling rights, we need to know what the Alliance is offering. How can we win if we can't do them one better?! Their negotiator, Kravel Koalbeard, is up there talking with one of their khans right now.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Fool's Gold
We definitely DO NOT have the kind of gold that the Horde is offering. <name>, we have to do something or we're not going to be able to get those drilling rights! Wait a minute! There was this report from an underwater survey that we did right after the Cataclysm struck.
