There are two caves, a small one to the right, a big one to the left. The Burrowing Leyworms are in the left cave.

The highest voted Wowhead comments for this page. They are community notes, not TheWoWDB comments.
It's not optional to collect the cores. That specification is in the game so that only one person in your party needs to throw the crystal in the pool.
This quest requires that you kill [npc=106630]s and loot 6 [item=122095] from them. These mobs can be found in the cave called Leyhollow.
Leyhollow is due north from Azurewing Repose - you can see the cave icon on the map. When you are facing Senegos, there are two caves to the right. The small one is not the one you want...go to the left from the entrance to the small cave to find the larger one (Leyhollow).
You'll know you're in the right place when you see [npc=107964] and [npc=93620] at the entrance. Simply go deeper in the cave to find the mobs you need.
After you collect all of the crystals, you click the Extra Action Button near the pool of water at Azurewing Repose to complete the quest.

What to do
Description
I will do what I can to stabilize him, but I will need your help. The small amount of energy he has left is coming from the mana pool he rests in. Follow the whelplings' lead. Dropping ley crystals into the pool gives him a bit of energy - buying him a few more breaths. They seem to be getting the crystals from inside that cave to the north.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Journey to the Repose
For now, the Illidari can hold the line against the Legion. We will return later to help them drive the Legion from the upper reaches of Faronaar. You and I must concentrate on the Pillars of Creation if the Tomb of Sargeras is to be resealed. Your saving of Stellagosa is fortuitous.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Agapanthus
<This whelpling is trying to get your attention. She locks eyes with you, then quickly flicks her head toward the northeast.>
