TheWoWDBso when the quest text says "on the very edges of Darkshire itself", it's actually code for "actually a fair way away from darkshire" and omitting the additional bit that says "we just want to waste your time making you search endlessly in the completely wrong place."

Description
The worgen infestation stretches further than Brightwood Grove. To the south, on the very edges of Darkshire itself, the Rotting Orchard is host to even more of the savage beasts. The worgen there are more cunning, {name}, but just as savage and evil. They conjure foul shadows to tear their enemies apart from a distance. Go to the Rotting Orchard, and slay the Shadow Weavers to keep the town safe!

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.

I think it may have been a typo and actually meant 'on the very edges of Duskwood itself,' as it sure isn't anywhere near Darkshire's outermost edges.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Worgen in the Woods
Darkness seems drawn inexorably to Duskwood. Master Carevin's quest is the expulsion of evil and heresy. Through our efforts are the people of Darkshire kept safe. You believe yourself worthy to join us? I once thought as you. Disillusioned by the complacency of the Watch, I joined Master Carevin.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Vile and Tainted
Your previous accomplishments have convinced me that you are ready to take on the toughest worgen infesting the woods. Of the worgen that have made their new home here, the Vile Fangs and the Tainted Ones have proven the most dangerous.
