TheWoWDBQuest location is accurate (you'll see a ghostly figure there), but you'll need to dismount to get the extra action button to show up. Sometimes it disappears without working, so try using /click ExtraActionButton1 after that to get the quest to progress as intended.

"Elor bindel felallan morin'aminor" means "Sleep forever in quiet serenity." (From https://wow.gamepedia.com/Thalassian)
I'm doing this quest during the Midnight prepatch and the map is bugged - it shows that i'm in Outland.
So if you have this problem like me, go to the Ghostlands at /way 97.94, 11.99
That's the lantern position. Dismount and the extra button should show up :)

Description
Arthas cut through the land itself to get to the Sunwell. The Dead Scar is a constant reminder of that desecration. Where it starts is where our first line of defense attempted to hold the Scourge at bay. It is where the first blood was spilled. It was a slaughter. Take the lantern to the base of the Dead Scar, and use its light to reveal the memories of what happened there.

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.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Writing on the Wall
Long has the southern wall separated Quel'Thalas from the once great kingdom of Lordaeron. We did not believe that anyone could breach it. That overconfidence was our undoing. When the Scourge arrived, the gate was not conquered by force. It was willingly opened by a traitor.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Lament of the Highborne
The next memory... Forgive me. For many of our people, it was when we realized death was coming for us. A memorial to a particular defender lies to the west, in the place of her home. The light there has no doubt attracted some of the area's lingering souls.
