Opened cages that have prisoners remaining in them are bugged and will not respawn.
You want to wait for opened cages that are empty. They are the ones that will re-spawn. (6-8 minutes for me)

I came out of the fortress to turn in the quest. The map and minimap both showed a yellow ? in front of the fortress where I picked up the quests. There was no mob there and the map said that it was turn-in for "The Great Salvation". I finally gave up looking and went to Embaari Village to turn in the other quests and turn-in for "The Great Salvation" was there as well.
So do not spend time searching if you get this bug. The turn is in Embaari Village. It could be if you turn in before you complete the last quest with Yrel, she will still be out front at that point, but after you confront the Void mob, she is in Embaari Village with Velen and Maarad.
Companion quests - Into Anguish, Harbingers of the Void, On the Offensive, Across the Stars. If you finish Into Anguish quickly, you can do The Dark Side of the Moon while you're doing the rest of these.
Next quest - Darkness Falls.
When you rescue the prisoners:
Draenei Prisoner says: Ner'zhul is sacrificing prisoners. He's babbling about a "Dark Star!"
Draenei Prisoner says: Hurry - Ner'zhul is dragging prisoners to the altar!
Draenei Prisoner says: Thank you, champion. I will never forget...their screams...
Draenei Prisoner says: There were more prisoners...they took them somewhere...please help them!
Draenei Prisoner says: Thank you. Please save the others! Ner'zhul is using them for some kind of ritual!
Draenei Prisoner says: The Shadowmoon - they've changed. They pray to the Void now.

Our scouts have made a horrifying discovery, <name>. The souls of the prisoners are being used to summon creatures from the void. Inside, three beings of darkness already await - the Essence of Shadow, the Essence of Darkness, and the Essence of Anguish.
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
A key source of the Shadowmoon clan's power comes from their understanding of the stars and their omens. For centuries, they have recorded the patterns of the stars and their interpretations. While you are in the fortress, collect some of these documents for me.
