TheWoWDBThe "source of the corruption" is not the wandering named Death Knight; but instead the banshee underneath the tree at the center of the Dragonshrine (once a high elf by the name of Dalilah). The entrance to the under-tree cave is towards the western side.
I'm a bit ashamed to admit I spent a good half-hour killing and rekilling the DK and wondering why my quest wasn't completing before I found Dalilah :(

Treads of the Charred Canyon, Scourgeslayer Belt, Wyrmfire Gloves, 21g, 5,150 XPDescription
I have one final task for you, {race}... one that should turn the tide of this fight. Return to the shrine and kill the necromancers that are fueling this onslaught. With them dead, we should be able to beat these forces back and eventually retake the shrine. I also need you to find the source of the corruption under the shrine and put an end to it. I know I have asked a lot of you, but if you do this for me, we will win this battle.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Return to the Earth
I have another task that needs attention. I have brothers who are falling in the battle overhead and if we do not act quickly, they will only bolster the emberwyrm ranks. Get into the shrine through one of the other passes to the south or north... the Scourge presence should be lighter there.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Steward of Wyrmrest Temple
You've proved that you're to be trusted and more. You should return to Wyrmrest Temple and speak with the steward, Tariolstrasz, once more, <name>.
