TheWoWDBFor anyone having issues with the 3rd clue: it is at the ocean floor level. Not at the terrace level, the markers are currently bugged (June 4th).
As you approach the temple from the east walkway, keep going under the archway until you seem to be at the center of the dome, roughly (when looking at your map).Turn and look right, and you should see a dungeon-like vortex entrance framed by orange seaweed - that's the place.
Submitting screenshot for visual aid as well, hopefully it gets approved.

The quest marker on the map isn’t working normally.
All the clues are at sea-floor level (same level you start out at — no need to go up to higher levels).
- First Clue: [npc=111102], next to Rangalang. (40.5, 75.0)
- Second Clue: right by where you start.
- Third Clue: Inside a room (there's a sort of portalish looking barrier you go through at the entrance) behind The Gorboros. (33.1, 67.4)
(I neglected to grab coords when I did the second clue.)
This zone seems to occasionally be bugged and not let you use your [item=54465] for some people. If you experience this simply logout and log back in it should allow you to use it as a mount again.

Description
The shaman we seek is Wavespeaker Adelee. Her research brought her down to these ancient ruins, where she reported naga armies amassing prior to the Legion invasion. The last I had heard, she had located Sharas'dal, the Scepter of Tides - and then she went silent. {name}, Search for clues to her whereabouts among the lower level of the ruins. Beware the naga patrols!

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- To the Deeps
I assure you the legends are true: Sharas'dal, the Scepter of Tides, was forged around living waters of the Well of Eternity. It gave Azshara dominion over life itself. I have sent shaman throughout the world looking for it, but the only one to ever find it has gone missing.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Throne of the Tides: Azshara's Power
Wavespeaker Adelee tracked Sharas'dal to the Throne of Tides within the Abyssal Maw, then disappeared. <name>, if we go after her, we are almost certainly walking into a trap. But the elements are with us, my friend. The naga will not expect a shaman of your caliber!
The storyline at a glance
Azshara's Power has 3 steps, from To the Deeps to Throne of the Tides: Azshara's Power.
Maps its steps are placed on (steps per map): Shimmering Expanse (2), The Maelstrom (1).
