As you go through the northern exit of Razor Hill, go immediately right and follow the path that takes you above the ravine. You'll see the cave in the distance as soon as you're above the ravine. This took me a long time to find. Thanks everyone for posting ahead of me.
P.S. It's a long run back from the graveyard if you die. :)

This is in cave ABOVE Drygulch Ravine, don't go to harpies canyon. When you exit Razor hill, go through north-eastern exit and don't follow the road to orgrimmar.

As of the Shadowlands pre-patch, approaching this quest as normal is inadvisable due to a severe overtuning of the Felblood debuff that is acquired with every kill for the NPCs involved for this quest. At any more than 2 stacks, this debuff will add so much damage to the fire and shadow spells casted by the mobs for this quest that your character will just get nuked.

What to do

StorylineDurotar, step 18 of 33

Rewards10g 50s, 4,100 XP

Description

I've been sent to investigate the presence of more Burning Blade agents here in Durotar. To the northeast, you'll find a cave where the organization trains their new recruits. I'm interested in what exactly they are teaching these neophytes. I only tell you this because you seem to be looking for work. If you're interested in a little coin, sack the cave and return with their spellscrolls. The cave is somewhat hidden: exit Razor Hill from the east, and follow the canyon's eastern ridge.

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.
