TheWoWDBStuck at 2/3 mages. The last portal is bugged and cannot be clicked.
Edit: someone in chat suggested to turn on Warmode in Dornagol and that worked like a charm. The 3rd portal isn't bugged in warmode for some reason.

It seems that the blue portals have mages, the pink ones have felhunters.
This quest is currently bugged in War Mode : OFF, you can't interact with the blue portals that free mages. Turn on your warmode and it should work.

Description
Kalecgos's hypothesis that Dalaran's debris interferes with long-range teleportation seems correct. Mage portals have appeared along the shore, but no one has stepped through them. There are likely mages trapped within the portals. Or, something mana hungry--like felhunters--may be being lured here by the release of Dalaran's power. We must investigate. Mages of the Kirin Tor may be in danger. The felhunters are an acceptable risk. Let us not waste any more time.
Where to go
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 quest's prerequisites.
- Somehow We Survived
What we experienced in Kel'Thuzad's pocket dimension is a timely reminder of what can happen when magic is used without regard to ethics or regulation. To me, this underlines the importance of the Kirin Tor. But, on the other hand, Kel'Thuzad was Kirin Tor.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Arcane Cold War
A few mages have come but... I expected more to act on Aethas's call to action. But perhaps that was wishful thinking. We need more help despite what you and Kalecgos did at Mourning Rise. Aside from Kel'Thuzad's pendant, the kobolds' plunder was middling-powered artifacts.
