Confrontation at the Black Temple is a scenario quest for level 10-45. It is step 7 of 17 in the Destiny of the Illidari I storyline. It rewards 7,700 experience and money.
The book from Lan'dalock is very enlightening. It describes a technique which will provide a simple and elegant bypass around the Black Temple's holy barriers.
I will need but a moment to summon a gateway. Stand back, please.

Sigh - I came here to find out what I have to do. Do I kill him? Do I get him down to a certain amount of health? What is the goal? I guess I'll edit this to tell what happened when I'm done. Just a note, folks. Not everyone learns well from videos, or can play them in real time while they have WoW running.
ETA: 16% health, 1268k as written in his health bar. He starts to cast Deathbolt, that you need to interrupt. I found that there were soul shards spawning around the edge of the circle he stands in, which helped immensely in keeping my health up. He gives up, you click on him to talk, and Matron Mother brings you home. I had Altruis, and did not get the Shade of Akama, but Akama himself.
I'm surely not the best DH out there, and I may be close to the worst, since I can't seem to get the hang of the mobility aspects. I find these types of comments here help lots more than 'here, look at my video' because I usually cannot replicate what's done in the video.
Have a talk with Matron Mother Malevolence to open a portal to Black Temple. After you passed through, start a scenario. Follow the stairs up, where illidari's breaking the wall. Do not forget to speak with Kayn / Altruis to proceed next stage. Akama will attack you and you have to deal with him. When you win him, there Allari the Soulreaver turn him into Shade of Akama. Get back to Maardum and turn up the quest. You able to recruit [champion=719] now.

So, not paying attention, I died. When I revived I freaked out because the barrier was back up and I couldn't get in! I ran back down to talk to the Matron Mother, in case she could let me in, and she wouldn't talk to me. Then I noticed another stairway on the other side. I ran up that way and it was not blocked. So if you die, just go around the other way and you can continue the scenario.

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.
Quests whose map markers the client places closest to this one on Mardum, the Shattered Abyss, nearest first. Distances are straight lines between the markers.
From the turn-in, the objective areas lie:
Straight-line distances in yards between the quest’s own map markers (QuestPOI) and the client’s flight-point positions (TaxiNodes); flight paths and terrain are not modelled.
Part 7 of 17.
Previous: Back in Black · Next: Confrontation at the Black Temple
Showing steps 2 to 13 of 17.
Storyline order is the client’s own QuestLine data from the current retail build.
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
Before you head into the Black Temple, we need more information. The last thing we want is for you to teleport into a trap. We must discern their force structure, patrol schedule, new defenses, and what Akama eats for breakfast. <Belath grins.> I suggest you send our broken warriors to handle this.
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
I feel that we should quickly welcome Akama into our ranks. It's important that the others see him treated as one of us, rather than as an outsider. Kor'vas Bloodthorn has proven herself invaluable, time and time again. Her skills in combat are unquestioned and unparalleled.
Destiny of the Illidari I has 17 steps, from The Blood of Demons to Working With the Wardens.
Maps its steps are placed on (steps per map): Mardum, the Shattered Abyss (13), Mardum, the Shattered Abyss (3), Dalaran (1).
Steps, storylines and map placement from the client’s QuestLine, prerequisite and QuestPOI data; neighbouring quest text is Blizzard’s own (quest API), shortened to its opening sentences.
These quests carry the same name and the same data in every field we hold. Quest 42634 is the main entry.
