TheWoWDBTerrible quest, bad design. I'm a total keybinder, so trying to click on three different pets' abilities was a clunky nightmare. Whelp respawn rate is way, way too fast. Reminds me of the worst of the Wrath vehicle quests in its clumsiness. Too bad, because I was really enjoying the story up until this frustration.

Whenever you do this quest, make sure that you clear a spot out where when you pull Nyxondra from right above your head. This will prevent the NPCs following you from running off and pulling whelps into the fight. Also, it is worth noting that Nyxondra's Bellowing Roar can be interrupted, so interrupt it every time you can to make the fight that much easier.
I hated this quest until I read the other comments. Here's what you should keep in mind in short:
- Get to the northwest area, just behind the little burnt down shack. There's no whelps back there and doesn't despawn your 'vikings'.
- Use Swift's charge to interrupt Bellowing Roar. Will save you lots of time, specially if you don't have your own interrupt.
- CC works. I feared her a few times when the charge was on cooldown.
- If you do try it elsewhere, do NOT loot the whelps as you kill them. This prolongs the spawn time and you just might notice that you can kill her before those bodies even disappear. Spawn times: Unlooted > looted > skinned.
As for getting back after you die or back there in general, go to the western area. With some decent WoW jumping skills you should be able to get back there easy enough. There's a way to do it in the south right by the graveyard but it's a bit of a pain.

Description
My greatest regret is the treatment that we - no, I - gave to Nyxondra. I forced her to lay eggs, then I performed experiments on them. Over, and over, and over again. Even as a mother myself, I can only imagine her sorrow. No... I mustn't be weak. Our work is, after all, for the benefit of future generations of black dragons. Her sacrifice was necessary. She circles the Ruins of Kargath, northwest of New Kargath, insane with fury. Please, heroes... put her out of her misery.

Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.

The black dragonflight means business. It appears that they've taken over a large portion of New Kargath, the large Horde settlement northwest of Dragon's Mouth. Their troops are under the command of General Jirakka and his champion, Moldarr. They must be stopped.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
