First, search for Prophet Velen at First to your Aid store. Speak with [npc=93529]. She says, Velen just gone.
Travel to Krasus landing, you'll find Velen there. Have a talk and Velen will show the image of Highlord Kruul.Confirming Suspicions - www.youtube.com/watch?v=0uZC8NPVoiU
The Illidari vs Kruul fight that Kor'vas is talking about happened in the novel Illidan. The demon hunters fought Kruul behind the scenes during the beginning of BC, keeping him from attacking us and giving us a chance to establish the camps at the Stair of Destiny in Hellfire Peninsula. It was a cool fight scene, the narration described it as basically an entire DH raid team fighting him and he even used his in-game abilities that he had back in the day.

Description
That heart is the last remaining piece of Highlord Kruul - once one of the Legion's best warlords. Many years ago Kruul's armies nearly descended upon the Dark Portal to crush the Azerothian assault on Outland. We Illidari intercepted before he could strike. I fear that the Legion aims to use the heart to hasten Kruul's resurrection in the nether. We must find the Prophet Velen at once - only he can tell us for sure.

- Gathering Information
The Legion has sent one demon after another to try to break into the Kirin Tor vaults in the city, but we don't know what they're after. Looks like they finally made it in. We need to find out what was taken, and quickly, before they get a chance to put whatever it is to use.
After this quest

- Between Worlds
Kruul boasts damnation, but his power has not yet fully manifested. His minions have taken his heart to hasten his rebirth in the nether. We do not have much time. Go to the place of Kruul's fall at the Stair of Destiny in desolate Outland, where the link to his soul is strongest.
