TheWoWDBI had a peculiar problem where the gates weren't showing during the quest.
I knew what I had to look for, because I'd seen the gates quite recently on a horde toon.
Luckily logout and log back in resolved it.

Description
Through the ground I can feel more demons being brought into our world. Soon there will be too many and we will be overrun without hope of turning them back. Take this piece of me and return to Demon Fall Canyon and Demon Fall Ridge, south of Felfire Hill. Aim the bough at a demon gate and concentrate. I have stored a portion of the forest's life force in its wood, and it will close the gate.
