As a Rogue, I feel privileged to have been sapped by... the best.
I am not sure how many people will make it here to see this but in 6.0.3 it seems every time someone is sapped during the quest every single person in Frostfire (Alliance or Horde) can hear it. So if you are hearing a low "thunking" sound like a sap you are not going crazy!

Gul'dan is in the cave further into the Gloomspire. We know that he's about to leave for Talador and Shadowmoon Valley. You must capture him by any means necessary, {name}. I'll see you back at Throm'var. Good luck.

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.
