This daily requires 6 ingredients for the truth serum. Ingredients will vary each time the daily is done.
But there is a constant pattern to the ingredients asked by Finklestein. The 1st, 2nd and 3rd ingredients are common (i.e. either room will have it in multiple spawns.) The 4th and 5th are uncommon (i.e. found in multiple spawns only in one room.) The last or 6th ingredient is rare (i.e. one spawn only.)Locations for Alchemical materials for this daily quest are as follows :

I have written an addon for this daily called EasySerum (Curse link / WoWInterface link). When Alchemist Finklestein whispers you the name of an item to find, such as Pickled Eagle Egg, the addon will print a message that says Pickled Eagle Egg: Right side, Case 1, Row 2, Item 2. Simple and effective, no more alt-tabbing to wowhead for this quest!
Descartes post is pretty complete, but I did make a little ascii map for myself and thought I would share it.

Description
Ahh, you must be the promised patrol. Your timing couldn't be better. I have urgent need of an extra pair of hands. We have a Drakkari prisoner who's been sent here to undergo questioning. Before the interrogation begins, I require assistance in the creation of a truth serum. Creating a truth serum is tricky business, demanding keen instincts, perfect timing, and improvisation at every step. Let me know when you're ready, {race}. And remember, timing is everything!
