I completed the jousting quests and then appeared to be stuck on 72 / 115 with no follow ups.

After flyign around I found a quest called "last Stand at Whistling Grove" located at 19,40. This got me back on track and may help others in this predicament.

If you quit questing after getting this achievement, you will miss the most epic part of the zone.

There's a grand total of 133 quests in Mount Hyjal, ending with the epic retreat of Ragnaros at the hands of Cenarius, Malfurion, Runetotem and me :p. Its follow up leads you back to Orgrimmar or Stormwind respectively, for the follow up to the Maelstrom.
