I guess I was expecting alot by thinking that someone here could post the coordinates / location of the Siege Tanks.
31.6 : 55.5 near the coast and south of Garrosh's Landing.

There's a glitch in the crediting for "Scourge Leader Identified". I drove my seige vehicle right up to him and didn't get credit, so I returned the vehicle and (at level 68 with cold weather flying) I flew up to him on my regular mount and it gave me credit.
Edit: If this glitch ever gets fixed please note it in a reply below so I can correct my post! :)

This is probably the first time Garrosh actually decided to think about something
"If Kel'Thuzad is controlling these Scourge, there's no telling what else the Lich King has in store for us... I'll need time to think through this new information, <name>. You are dismissed."
Garrosh is actually able to think, which is amazing. Regardless my vote is for A Basic Campfire for Warchief 2012.

Rewards

Grek'lor's Breastplate of Bloodrage,

Grek'lor's Loungewear, 6,200 XP

Description

Once you're ready, jump into one of the tanks and drive it out to the Plains of Nasam, southeast of here. Use the tank's weapon arsenal to take down the Scourge army. If you get in a jam, the "Meatpounder" will tear 'em up and the land mines will finish 'em off! If you find any of our soldiers, grab 'em! One last thing, fuel tanks can be found all over the field. Try to get close enough to that structure in the center and see what's going on. If you do all of this and live, go to Hellscream!

Where to go

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.

Tanks a lot...Borean Tundra · Level 10-30
Thanks for all your help, buddy. You can let Grek'lor know the tanks are ready for action. Hopefully you can clean up this place once and for all!

Untold TruthsBorean Tundra · Level 10-30
We are here by order of Varimathras! The mission of the Shadowstalkers is a simple one: spy. Well, spy with a little assassination on the side. One of my best field agents has gone missing. I haven't heard from him in days, which has left me fearing the worst. No, not death! Death would be ideal.
