TheWoWDB"CAN YOU SMELL WHAT THE LOK'TAR IS COOKIN'?" translates to, "CAN YOU SMELL WHAT THE VICTORY IS COOKIN'?"
A better translation is, "I'm a huge idiot please shoot me in the face."

Sadly, they never do tell you what the lok'tar is cooking - Don't get your hopes up, hopefully blizzard resolves this plotline.
A reference to WWE's The Rock saying, "Do You Smell What the Rock Is Cooking?"

Description
Shortly before you arrived an orc flew in upon a frost wyrm and demanded that I direct him to where the 'newbies were hanging out.' Uncertain as to the vernacular, I told him to fulfill his duty as a member of the Horde and deal with the worgen threat of the area. He grumbled something about 'what the lok'tar was cooking' and headed south to the docks. Ordinarily I wouldn't care about whether or not an orc went missing, but I am genuinely curious about what the lok'tar might be cooking. Find out.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the quest's prerequisites.
- Helcular's Rod Giveth...
To think, I, a master of necromancy, trained by Kel'Thuzad himself, was reduced to nothing more than a corpse in a grave. Thankfully, my astute apprentice, Thaivand, managed to find a group of heroes to recover this: <Helcular whips out his rod.> It is through the power of the rod that I was reborn.
- Helcular's Command
Our dark rangers search the fields for worgen terrorists. These worgen have been sent out by their dark masters to hunt and kill us. And though a dark ranger is a formidable combatant, the worgen often attack in packs, which can overwhelm even a dark ranger.
