Getting to the island for the first time:
Take a flight path to Pinchwhistle Gearworks, or get there by other means if you don't have it already.
Mount up on Azure Water Strider.
Run east around the coast to Shadowmoon Valley.
Go up on land on the west side of Socrathar's Rise.
- Mobs are level 100. Go up the hill and keep making your way up the right side to the flight path.
Get the flight path at Socrathar's Rise.
Drop off the cliffs behind the flight path and continue east to the island.
Get the flight path on the island, and now you're connected with the rest of the Horde flight paths.The objective pops up as soon as you're in range of the island, but isn't all that clear. Kill mobs and click on eggs to fill your progress bar, as already mentioned by jujuness.
