TheWoWDBTip:
You do not move the pieces like a real sliding block puzzle; clicking any piece will teleport it to the empty square!

Just for clarification, you CAN move the pieces to an empty spot that's not right next to it. I would have gotten this done a lot faster had I known this.
Had a lot of difficulties doing this quest until I noticed that you can move the statues diagonal

Description
You see the statue split into two, then four, then eight identical statues in a square formation. You hear a voice, not through your ears, but in the back of your mind: "A true warden does not face OUTWARD, searching for signs of danger. A true warden keeps his gaze INWARD, always focused on protecting his quarry." Perhaps this is a riddle of some sort?

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Sentinel's Pawn
We very nearly had this statue stolen from us by one of Bloodwatcher's Reliquary stooges. We managed to catch him in the act, and we've retrieved the statue, but it hasn't really paid off. It appears to be a key of some sort, but I can't find the lock anywhere inside those ruins.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Sentinel's Game
As you place the statue in its place, several other stone statues appear in the room. One more ruby-colored statue also appears, in a small enclosure on the far end of the room. You hear a voice: "The Sentinel watches. The Sentinel protects.
