As you approach Zskarn's room from either side you'll find an egg on the table. Clear the trash before you click it. This is where it is on the map. There are two eggs but you only need one for the achievement, so pick whichever you like based on which side you approached from.
When clicked it will fling up into the air and a circle will appear. Standing in that circle lets you catch it but gives you the [spell=411635] debuff causing you to run forward for 60 seconds and gives you an uncontrollable urge to head to the disco. If the debuff expires then the egg is once again thrown into the air and must be caught, and this has to be repeated until the boss dies. When you lose the egg you can't catch it for 90 seconds so it'll have to be juggled between different people throughout the fight. This is what the catch circle looks like.
In addition to the 60 second timer, each time the boss casts her knockback the egg will be knocked out of your hands and flung into the air. Most of the time this isn't really a problem as you can stay as a group and then quickly catch it again without issue. However, around 3:40 into the fight there's an overlap where the boss does a knockback during Tactical Destruction and the egg can land in the area with the fire. We never experimented with immunities while holding the egg, nor did we have an egg carrier die so I can't say for sure what happens in either case. What we did was to have the BDK pop Death's Advance to avoid the knockback and then catch the egg while in the breath and pop AMS/IBF to live the damage. Other classes may be able, but that's what we did. You can also bait which dragon heads will be spitting the fire for Tactical Destruction so you could have the egg carrier move to what will be the safe spot ahead of time to avoid this issue altogether.
While carrying the egg you can use abilities as normal without causing issues, so feel free to continue to DPS/heal as long as you can do it on the move.
Edit 5/21: Clarified that you only need 1 of the 2 eggs. Also adding the advice from users in other comments to have it all in one place but credit to them!
- Turn on RP walk to make the run distance of the egg holder significantly lower (Credit to Zieda)
- Running into the bombs typically cleared by the tanks drops the egg (Credit to Xirev)
- Shapeshifting as a druid drops the egg, meaning this may be true of other effects that removes snares like Freedom and Tiger's Lust (Still needs testing) (Credit to Hamen)If you need help with the metas feel free to add me to Btag (NA only) or Discord!

About Aberrus, the Shadowed Crucible
Millennia ago, Neltharion established Aberrus, a secret laboratory where he conducted world altering experiments. Recently rediscovered, Aberrus is now under attack from all sides as forces seeking to claim the Earth-Warder's legacy search for any power that remains. The champions of Azeroth must venture into the shadows and ensure Neltharion's dark power doesn't fall into the wrong hands.

You can turn on RP walk and make moving around with the egg much easier - you're still constantly walking, but it's not the constantly running.
Easy Solo for Worldsoul Saga Level 90-100 & beyond...
1. Normal Difficulty.
2. On the way to the Zskarn, Vigilant Steward platform, just before the last two stairs, is a clickable dragon egg on the right hand side of the room. Click on it and catch it before it hits the floor.
2b. There is also a dragon egg on the opposite side, in case you weren't able to catch the egg the first time, lol.
3. Run up to the boss, begin fight, and NUKE it all the while holding the egg.
4. ?
5. Profit. Achievement Completed.
