No one seems to mention the little cinematic between Rell and Taran Zhu at quest completion.
Sky Admiral Rogers: Nightwind, report! What's going on down there?
Rell Nightwind: No sign of the flagship, and no sign of Admiral Taylor or Prince Anduin.
Sky Admiral Rogers: Horde troops are swimming towards your position. Open fire at once.
Rell Nightwind: Admiral - I think they mean to surrender. They're not armed - They're just trying not to drown!
[shot of unmassed, single orcs swimming towards the dock.]
Sky Admiral Rogers: You don't think they'll hestitate to strangle you with their bare hands? GUN THEM DOWN!
[Orcs are fired upon in the water, killing all of them.]
Rell Nightwind: That's not right...this is a massacre...they were unarmed - ugh! I don't feel well...
[Rell completely transforms into a Sha.]
Rell Nightwind: Maybe they deserved to die.
[Taran Zhu runs onto the scene, exorcises Rell.]
Taran Zhu: You beasts! What sort of madness is this?
Rell Nightwind: Men, stand down - this is one of the natives.
Rell Nightwind: We are from the Alliance, and mean you no harm. Tell me, what was the shadow you drew out of me?
Taran Zhu: This is not the place to explain. In short, your own doubts have been made manifest, as a consequence of your actions.
Rell Nightwind: You don't understand - we're fighting a war here-
Taran Zhu: Oh, I understand perfectly. I have eyes. But Pandaria is not like whatever land you came from; it lives and breathes. You should be careful what kind of energy you bring here. Now put those weapons away!
Make sure you turn in this quest right at the end of the dock where you complete it. If you don't the barricades reappear and you no longer have the quest item to blow them up with. So far, I've found now way to get back down the dock and turn in the quest.
Even if another player comes along and they blow up the barricade, for me it remains.
Solution: I was able to climb up onto the dock from the very eastern end of it, on the right hand cornder. There is a metal ring around the verticle dock support. I was able to jump up on that, and then from there, jump the rest of the way onto the dock and deliver the quest. =D

Description
I've scouted the area and found no leads on the prince or Admiral Taylor. We need to neutralize this base quickly and continue our search elsewhere. Operations here are being led by an orc warlock; Ga'trul. He's barricaded the dock and is trying to escape through a demonic circle. Put that flaregun to work again and blow those barricades! I'll cover your back and move in when you reach Ga'trul.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Welcome Wagons
Did you see the size of those war wagons? They're packing so many explosives, I cannae tell if the Horde is here to take over this continent or just blow it out of the sea! We need to neutralize those wagons before they leave Garrosh'ar Point. Here, take me pocket flares.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Envoy of the Alliance
North of this base is a cherry blossom orchard and a village tucked away behind it. We will need to quarter there and tend to our wounded while we plan our next move. Head to that village and make contact with the native leader. Agent Mishka and I will rendezvous with you there.
