TheWoWDBMy instance was bugged in Stage 5. When the bad guy pops up in the center of the platform, you need to make sure he is done talking before you defeat him. I had to start the instance 4 times before I finally figured it out. If you kill him too fast, Mayla gets stuck, and you can't escort her outside. Mayla will say something like "Heroes, attack him!", then he says a couple things. Just hang back and let her soldiers attack some until you are sure he is done talking. Unfortunately I didn't have a "leave instance" option, so I'm glad I figured it out. Hopefully this helps someone else :)

I can confirm from my own experience that if you complete the initial 4/4 world quests (invasion points) and turn in the quest to Prince Farondis at Shackle's Den to unlock the daily quest line he provides and then wait past the time of the invasion, the next quests, and the one you were currently on, to complete the invasion will not be able to be finished. I completed as such and logged off for work before I was able to complete the full quest line for the invasion. I came back online to find I couldn't complete it. Thought it was an interesting side note if anyone was ever curious. I assume this will also apply to all other invasion areas.

Description
In my years I have seen disturbances and threats come and go, but never before have I seen such brazen disregard for life. The demons may scorch our lands and cause suffering amongst our kin, but we must not stand idly by while they threaten what we have fought so hard to create. Rise to the occasion, {name}. The time has come to stand against the Burning Legion!
