Idiotic quest tbh.
As a mage I have real big trouble with this, since when I attack one of the Shardmasters there will be another player jumping in, taking the thing.
Got 1 during this whole day, been there 3 times now... about 10 biggies been stolen from under my nose.

Don't go inside the cave; as everyone else is saying, it's nearly impossible to tag all the targets you need ahead of all the other players there. Instead, hang around outside, between the cave entrance and the bridge. The groups spawn much more quickly there, and it's easy to tag multiple targets. Just keep killing things until the quest dings.
Go to cave (entrance at 48, 54) , you need to kill 2 caster mobs (greystone Shardmaster) and one big rock mob (Enraged Umbralshard). the cluster of them together shows up on mini map.
