That zone was called Vash.

If you were a fresh 80, like a Worgen, the one thing you needed immediately when entering a dangerous new zone full of level 80 critters with scary levels of health and dps was new gear, yet the first dozen or so quests awarded cash only, like we were mercenaries. We want GEAR, dammit, not this yellow stuff! Yet gear was doled out so slowly that I gave up after several death runs due to eels or murlocs and went to Hyjal.

I've raised 8 characters to 85, and only one made it through Vash far enough to actually see the Earthen Ring quartermaster. And he stopped right there before heading off to Hyjal.
