Sounds EXACTLY like Maggie Smith voiced her, plus the name Inerva -> Minerva McGonagall in Harry Potter. Not sure about the Darkvien part other than super vampirey, but she did also play a women living out of a Dark Van in a 2016 movie.
;p

Add to that the amount of actual Stars blizz has doing voice overs this expack, I would not be surprised if it was her.

Not sure if anybody else has this issue, but when I do this boss in LFR, one of my addons is messing up and putting a giant black box with gold trim on 1/3 of my screen. When I hover over it, it says "Vat of Iniquity". Somebody in LFR said that doesn't pertain to the fight in LFR, only in Normal and above. When I use MoveAnything to see what the panel is called, it says this:

Abilities & Strategy

Overview

Lady Inerva Darkvein's abilities are directly linked to the anima levels of the containers. As they rise, the efficacy of her abilities increases. Players can lower the levels of the containers by using the anima release valves located around the playspace. Allowing any container to reach capacity will trigger a Container Breach.

Primal Anima Containers

Anima containers are placed around Lady Inerva Darkvein's balcony that gradually gather anima energy to empower each of her abilities. Players can interact with the containers to open them, and close them by interacting with them again. Open containers vent their Loose Anima into the playspace. When any container reaches full capacity, a Container Breach occurs. The breach continues to damage players until the anima level is reduced below capacity.

Level and Map Tracking

The game data tunes Lady Inerva Darkvein for levels 10 to 59, Shadowlands content.

What Each Drop Is

The Lady Inerva Darkvein encounter lists 25 items in the dungeon journal, item level 200. Equip slots covered: Waist, Head, Hands, Legs, Trinket and Finger. Every piece binds when picked up, so none of it reaches the Auction House.

Read from the current game build's item data. Listed prices come from our latest US Auction House scan; a drop that binds when picked up never has one.
