Rappel point is at 71.9 42.2 spot, on a branch. Jump down and pick up the barrel of powder in front of you.
You have to place explosives to four marked points through the cave. There are two points, left and right from Drak'thezzar.
Follow the path out of the cave, two others points will be found on the way. When you leave the cave, use Legion Torch near the entrance to fire powder and destroy the cave.

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.
