Get to Caer Darrow. Step on teleport pad in the center of Dalaran. Walk down the stairs and through the Portrait Room to reach the portal room, The Chamber of the Guardian. In this room are portals to Caverns of Time, Shattrath, Wyrmrest Temple, Dalaran Crater and Karazhan.

Take the portal to Dalaran Crater. Like the sign states, you will drop from the sky and splat in the crater. You may die but will get Going Down? achieve if you still need it. Edit: Some people report dying from this fall. As a precaution use your Unending Resolve or Soulstone yourself prior to taking the portal.

Fly NW to Caer Darrow in Western Plagelands (home of Scholomance). Be aware this area is now populated with lvl 100 Shadow Council mobs that dislike you intensely.
