I found a "nest" (burn hollowed stump) with four eggs at map coordinates 56:75. It was guarded on four sides with level 38 Dragonkin Firemane Scalebane.
Nests at 48:75 and 53:72 :) If you are without coords, they are a short distance to the left and right from the entrance to Onyxia's Lair.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Raze Direhorn Post!
There's no scrying necessary to see the trouble my new "neighbors" are creating. And if this is the band that burnt down the Shady Rest Inn, as you claim, there's no reason to tolerate their presence any longer. Take this torch and raze their camp to the ground!
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Justice Dispensed
I doubt the Grimtotems will give up their campaign to drive humans from the marsh, though I get the impression you probably don't mind that. At least we have dealt with the perpetrators of the crimes at the Shady Rest Inn. Go tell your leader that his vengeance has been sated.
