TheWoWDBDoes Vashj still recognize you even if the toon you're on hasn't cleared Serpentshrine Cavern?
I wish she said something specific to DHs, since she was also Illidari.

While leveling, on your way to do this quest,
1) DO speak to [npc=161841] and get your [spell=338920] buff (it does give a negligible benefit, but it's more as an... well, "homage" doesn't seem like the right word, to 2020).
2) DON'T use the transporter orb near [npc=161841]. You'll end up going through a bunch of level 60 slimes and you're better off going north, then east.
3) DO use [item=132516] if you can spare them. It's a long road to get there.
I was thinking the same thing. As a DH we've not, in lore, dispatched her as she suggests. Her remembering us from before she became a Naga, or from when she was working with Illidan would have made more sense.

Description
Each house in Maldraxxus has two barons. Before the fall of my first house--the House of Eyes--our margrave sent my fellow baroness to investigate suspicious behavior in the House of Rituals. I have not heard from her since. Either she has found something... or has become another casualty of their treachery. Her orders took her to the Decay in the east. If you can find the baroness, give her this summons. We were not friends, she and I, but she is a formidable combatant. We could use her might.

After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Prey Upon Them
My mission cannot progress without a supply of anima. Fortunately, the necromancers nearby have been kind enough to gather some into their maldracite crystals. You will relieve them of those crystals. They may be reluctant to part with them, but I trust you can be... persuasive.
