A Tactical Assault is a Horde-only quest for level 15-35. It is step 37 of 44 in the Dominance Offensive storyline. It rewards 2 reputation rewards, 3,600 experience and money.
If we're to survive up above ground, we're going to need a base of operations.
I'm going to try to take the center of the city. It's risky, but hopefully Jaina and the Silver Covenant won't expect it.
Stay by my side now, <name>.

After you move into the center of the city, be careful not to run into Jaina Proudmoore who patrols around the outer ring. If you do aggro her, just try to stay alive for a few seconds and she'll send you directly to the Violet Hold (Do not pass go, do not collect 200 gold).
Something I found funny is, if you do get captured and escape, [npc=20735] will be guarding the exit. He will proclaim that "Now...YOU must die!" and summon images of all of the daily kill quests such as [npc=26533] and [npc=27656] to attack you.
I admit, I got captured more than once just to fight Lan'dalock because that was hilarious.

Oh man... why didn't I read this comment before completing the quest chain?

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.
Quests whose map markers the client places closest to this one on Dalaran, nearest first. Distances are straight lines between the markers.
From the turn-in, the objective areas lie:
Straight-line distances in yards between the quest’s own map markers (QuestPOI) and the client’s flight-point positions (TaxiNodes); flight paths and terrain are not modelled.

Every Sunreaver Jaina expels from this city is a new blade that fights for the Horde. For US. I'm off to gather more strong elves. You've proven your hand in combat thus far - go take care of that creep in the black market. When you're done, we'll meet at the ramp and prepare to go aboveground.

I have it on good authority that Archmage Aethas Sunreaver is being held in the Silver Enclave, home of the Silver Covenant. Arcanist Rathaella holds him in captivity. Most Covenant agents are out slaughtering Sunreavers right now, which means our chance is ripe.
Dominance Offensive has 44 steps, from Meet the Scout to Breath of Darkest Shadow.
