TheWoWDBSo, I ran into the 'Invisible Thaelin' bug myself. After several attempts of leaving the quest area, re-entering, dropping the quest, etc. I found that simply re-logging is your best bet. If that does not work for you, and you want to know what the dialogue interaction contains, I have transcribed it below:
SPOILERS:
Spoiler
Gazlowe says: Yo, Darkanvil! Nice digs you got here - I'd prefer fewer bloodthirsty orcish warmongers, but whatever turns your crank I guess.
Thaelin Darkanvil says: Gazlowe! Listen, they forced me to build a drill-
Gazlowe says: The drill ain't a problem no more. You ready to get outta here?
Thaelin Darkanvil says: I won't leave with my work still in the hands of the Iron Horde. I've got a plan to make things right, if ye can spot me a can of yer famous rocket fuel...
Gazlowe says: You turned into some kinda hero, huh? Alright, suit yourself. Here.
Gazlowe says: But you better use it to die in a blaze o' glory!
Thaelin Darkanvil says: Hah! We dwarves prefer to blast the OTHER guy to smithereens - not ourselves. I'll leave that to the goblin engineers.
Thaelin Darkanvil says: Thanks for the fuel, Gazlowe. After my great escape, maybe I'll pay you a visit and show you how I did it.

Currently, the quest's ending seems a little bugged. Gazlowe speaks to the air, which responds in a way only he can hear, and the quest ends.

Description
There's no way Thaelin sold out. NO way! They gotta be holdin' him here somewhere. Come on, {name}. I know he's with the Alliance, and I know they aren't your favorite people, but we do NOT want the Iron Horde having access to his work - trust me!

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Four Finger Discount
I gotta admit, establishing a supply chain to a primal world on the wrong side of time is tough, even for me. Gotta make due with, uh... "locally sourced" goods. Say what you want about the Iron Horde, but when it comes to raw materials, they got connections!
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Payment Due for Services Rendered
I'm ready to get outta here, and I ain't hoofin' it back through all those orcs. Fortunately, I kept a few extra rocket chickens to get us back to your garrison in style! Let's get up to the roof and find a decent place to take off.
