For those who did the PHASED grind, and then realized that Fleet Master Firallon is also PHASED and thus cannot give you the Avast, Ye Admiral quest, he is still available.
He is just outside Booty Bay, on the boat near the big goblin statue, on a ship. Not only that, but also the phased versions of Fleet Master Seahorn & Baron Revilgaz count toward the quest!
Thank you to Playfellow for pointing this out on the Bloodsail Buccaneers page.

Take note that you MUST be hated with Booty Bay in order to get this quest. There is a bug/exploit you can do to get to Friendly with Bloodsail and still be friendly with Booty Bay, but you will be unable to get this quest.
Dont waste your time on the exploit. But get this hat, its very worth it for the novelty! Dont be afraid of goblin rep. You can reobtain that within hours with just about 200 gold by buying cloth and turning it in (or farm instances for it)
YARR MATEYS!
Finally after farming Jazzrik in the Badlands for 10 months I can CONFIRM that it IS possible to get exalted with the Bloodsail Bucaneers. The quest Avast ye, Admiral WILL give rep beyond 20999 revered. Right now I'm sitting at 499/1000 exalted.

Description
Listen close, sea dawg... the powers of Booty Bay is what keeps us Bloodsail from sailing wheres we like and taking whats we want as rights o' plunder. Were ye to put a knife to Fleet Master Seahorn, we'd ne'er run afoul of a Booty Bay's vessel. Were ye to put a knife to Baron Revilgaz, we'd ne'er face the law on their terms. If ye are to be an honorary admiral amongst us - yes, ADMIRAL, you'll puts a knife to both of 'em as I've says. Go now lad, and return to me once ye does the deeds.
