TheWoWDBtldr; if you came to this page, you might be pressing the wrong action button :)
I came here because I was stuck on this quest for an embarrassing amount of time. Could not figure out what I was doing wrong. Well I was pressing the ability button for "temporal displacement" and not the button next to the quest text. Still embarrassing, figured I'd mention it in the event someone else mentally zoned out while doing these and was spamming the wrong button.

Going back so far in time and seeing Ragnaros, Al'akir and Therazane in battle with the Black Empire, albeit briefly, was honestly cool as hell.
From what I can tell, based on the voice lines you hear while in The Black Empire, the presences are most likely the following Old Gods' respective whispers:
Maddening = Yogg-Saron
Knowing = N'Zoth
Observing = C'Thun
Piercing = Y'Shaarj

Description
This... This is the Black Empire. We have traveled very far into the past, indeed. Look! I see Ambassador Chronormu and Eternus! We need to hurry and complete the ritual. Even my curiosity is not enough to wish to see where they might travel to next.
Where to go
Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Race Through Time!
<name>, we must act quickly to catch up to Ambassador Chronormu, and I mean that quite literally. Zera and I will do what we can to speed our progress, but it is imperative we avoid entangling with this time period as much as possible.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Back to the Future
We're not going to fall through time anymore but we're far in the past. Waaaaay far in the past. "The Titans Haven't Visited Azeroth Yet" far in the past. Getting home is going to be... tricky. But we dragons can do it! We're going to need you to keep those Black Empire minions off our backs though.
