Most probably the wait is the result of someone before you had already killed the creature. There is sometimes a small queue to use an quest item again once someone was already there.
I can't say thats exactly what is happening, its just observation from my own experience on the x1 realm.
Is there another quest with the same "feature" that doesn't spawn something when you are using the item to spawn something you need to kill that is alive or it is recently dead and the body hasn't vanished? If there is one, then I will admit my fault.
There are a lot more than that, for example there is a quest right in Dustwallow Marsh with the name like "Challenge the black dragonflight" in front of Onyxia's Lair which doesn't let u plant the banner thus spawning the quest mob if somebody used it not long before you.
Wow, just wow. We need more people like you on this server.
I had the same problem, maybe the quest item that you're given already has a cooldown on it despite the fact, that it's not visible on the icon since it says that "items is already in use". That was my guess. The quest still works thought, so no biggie.
This is usually meant to prevent unit overspawn or more than 1 event running at same time.
There's always a possibility something may be wrong, so in those cases (which is not with this quest), please provide a bug report. As QA we're not supposed to be looking for them on forum , but I happened to notice this whilst browsing the topics.
Knock it off.
