TheWoWDBWhen doing this quest, my character had loot lag while trying to loot the turtles. He'd bend down to pick up the shell fragments and then get stuck. (I guess when you hit 90, it's not as easy to stand up anymore.)
In any case, to get around this, I killed the Mushan close to where I'd killed the turtles and loot them instead. This way I'd get the loot from both corpses and not get stuck in loot lag. Hope this helps anyone else having the same problem.

The turtles spawn in and around The Underbough. Fairly easy to fight despite them having 400k or so health. Around 10 kills and you should have your fragments.

Description
The Shado-Pan fight. As such, their armor often gets cut, scratched, torn, and burned. And it's my job to repair it. I'm no armorer, but I can repair a broken piece of mail as long as the hole's not too big. I prefer to use shell fragments from the tortoises that live in the wild fields to the northeast. Get some for me, and I can keep more Shado-Pan armored and alive.

LOL but watch it. Some of us are getting on in years, but can still stand up and fight.
