Guide to Burning Steppes quests:

Optional breadcrumbs:
Hero's Call: Burning Steppes or Mouton Flamestar

Do anytime before leaving to Chiselgrip:
Done Nothing Wrong

Keeshan is back with either:
Burning Vengeance if you did the Redridge chain or Burning Vengeance if you did not.

These three at once:
Stocking Up
A Future Project
Mud Hunter

Then:
The Sand, the Cider, and the Orb

These two at once: Warlocks Have the Neatest Stuff and Shadow Boxing

Then:
Return to Keeshan
Chiselgrip, the Heart of the Steppes

Enables these quests, which must be completed before General Thor'izog in the main chain:
Prove Yer Allegiance
Scrapped Golems (leads to Golem Training)

Main chain continues:
A Needle in a Hellhole
A Perfect Costume (4 versions) Read the quest carefully. What creature disguise do you need?
---> Orc (given to Humans and Dwarves): 2 Hides, 4 muds, 2 thread
---> Goblin (given to Gnomes): 1 hide, 3 mud, 4 thread
---> Troll (given to Night Elves): 3 Hides, 2 mud, 1 thread
---> Ogre (given to Draenei and Worgen): 4 Hide, 1 Mud, 3 thread

Then:
Into the Black Tooth Hovel
Grunt Work
Look in your quest log -- Strategic Cuts has silently appeared
The Kodocaller's Horn
Taking the Horn for Ourselves
Until Blizzard fixes it, when you turn in this quest, you will get a failed quest sound
with "You don't meet the requirements for that quest". Don't panic.

You must by this time have finished Stebben's quests, listed above.
General Thorg'izog
Trial by Magma
I Am the Law and I am the Lash [I think this completing this one is optional]
When you accept the above, look for Abuse of Power in your quest log

Then:
Enough Damage for One Day
Morgan's Vigil

Completing that quest allows for these four together:
SEVEN! YUP! [rewards Tiny Flamefly]
Blackened Ashes
A Heap of Delicious Worg
Latent Demons of the Land

Then these three together:
Blood Tour
Draconic Vanguard
A Deal with a Dragon

Given when third one above is completed: Placing the Pawns

Then these three:
A Delivery for Thorg'izog
A Delivery for Neeralak
A Delivery for Zi'lun

Auto-accepted when above three are done:
Locked and Loaded

And the epic conclusion:
Assault on Dreadmaul Rock
Glory Amidst Chaos
The Spoils of War

Dialogue during quest:

High Warlock Xi'lun says: We are nearly prepared to start this battle, brothers. Thorg'izog, what is the matter? Why are you covering your butt like that?
General Thorg'izog says: WHAT? No reason... it's just... something is very wrong with my stomach. I think it's something I ate.
High Warlock Xi'lun says: Can you still lead your troops? Do you need to promote one of your sergeants?
General Thorg'izog says: Timan fell from the Pillar of Ash. Othana was eaten by wolves. Gorlop fell in lava. And most of my sergeants were killed in a freak cudgelling accident.
High Warlock Xi'lun says: I see. Well, do the best you can. And Neeralak, why are you all black and smoky?
Dragon-Lord Neeralak says: Those imps you had delivered... they woke up and started shooting fireballs at everybody! It was chaos!
High Warlock Xi'lun says: Delivered? Woke up? What are you even talking about? Were you attacked by flamekin?
Dragon-Lord Neeralak says: Imps, flamekin, whatever! I don't know warlock crap. Demons all look the same to me!
Dragon-Lord Neeralak says: Besides, I've been busy dealing with other issues. Dozens of my dragons died when those two enemies swept through the front lines.
High Warlock Xi'lun says: You're both failures. But it doesn't matter: with a pit lord on our side, we won't need foot soldiers OR dragons. Behold!
High Warlock Xi'lun says: [Demonic] Zar zar refir zenn X zennshi x buras daz
High Warlock Xi'lun says: And now to quickly use the Orb of Domination, before the pit lord turns on us.
General Thorg'izog says: The pit lord's loose! We're doomed! Retreat!
General Thorg'izog says: Quickly, everyone run toward those dragons! All troops, towards the dragons! The dragons will save us!
Dragon-Lord Neeralak says: I never called any dragons...
