Crazy bastard blood elf. Sure the draenei have a holier than thou attitude, but surely wouldn't stopping them be almost the same as helping the legion who your fighting against?
Some elves never learn.
Altar is at the south end of the pools of Aggonar, its in the water, alot of blobs around.
After you use the signaling gems, 3 draeni walk toward the altar, a lvl 62 is the quest target, and 2 paladins 57-58.pretty easy if you're a caster, 1 chain lightning crit was enough for me to kill the quest target

Felforce Medallion, Lost Anchorite's Cloak, Felblood Band, 10g 50s, 4,100 XPDescription
Our scouts captured a draenei paladin at the Pools of Aggonar. He was to take part in a cleansing ritual to purify the pools. We must stop the draenei from succeeding or we will lose our supply of felblood! He was carrying this signaling gem, looking to mark a spot where a priest - or "anchorite" as they call themselves - could perform their rituals in safety. Place the gem near the Altar of Aggonar and be ready to ambush any approaching draenei. I suggest that you take a friend or two along.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- In Need of Felblood
Northeast of here lie the Pools of Aggonar. Once a sacred site to the draenei, their waters were corrupted after the blood from the demon Aggonar was spilled into them. That blood, though old and diluted, still possesses tremendous power.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Magic of the Arakkoa
Outland holds many secrets, <name>. It's only a matter of time before we uncover them all. The half-bird, half-man species of the arakkoa possesses ancient arcane knowledge that would aid us greatly in our exploration of this world. Travel to the Den of Haal'esh, south of here.
