The Underkings are the big beetles. Around the field at the coordinates listed below.
You can find the Priests in the ziggurats, at least 2 in each. 77,68 and 79,64.
and I just had Crusaders of Virtue help me kill the Reanimated Crusaders, at The Breach, then I used the holy water after they died. You can do it however you like.

Rewards4,100 XP

Description

The Scourge have sent their armies at the Argent Crusade and have been repelled. What they do now is called a 'slash and burn.' All prisoners that they hold at Scourgeholme will be executed and raised as servants of the Lich King. Undoubtedly the Argent Crusade will request that you give their soldiers a proper farewell. I'll ask no such thing of you. To succeed we must kill Scourge indiscriminately. Venture to Scourgeholme, northwest through the Breach, and lay waste to all that stand in your way.

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.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

The Restless DeadIcecrown · Level 25-30
Not all of our soldiers made it out of Scourgeholme. Many were slain and turned into twisted reflections of their former selves. Such is the way of the Scourge. For those damned souls, there is no eternal peace. We must provide their souls rest.
