Just leaving this here in case anyone ever has the same issue as myself:
If you complete this quest and do not receive In the Blink of an Eye automatically afterwards, and have absolutely no means to acquire it via an npc, you must remake the character. I contacted customer support and they sent me an automated response 2 days later, telling me to visit this website to figure out my problem.
That is every comment on this page.

What to do
Description
It would seem I underestimated your initial value. We will have need of your kind in the coming war. I plan to hunt these demons to the ends of Azeroth, and your kind will be the arrow I shall loose upon them. Tell your Illidari within Orgrimmar to make ready to serve the Horde. But make no mistake, your kind once served the Betrayer. Betray me, and there is no world you can run to that will save you from my vengeance.

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.
