As of the day of the Pre-Legion's patch's launch, this quest is once again bugged. Blizz apparently never saw the PTR report.

After killing Grimaxe's golem, the general will leap from it and instantly despawn as he hits the ground. This makes completing the zone's storyline impossible for the time being.

EDIT: As of a hotfix earlier today, they seem to have deleted Grimaxe from Wyrmrest Accord-US entirely. He is still around, albeit bugged on other servers.

Description

With you leading the way, we've finally broken the momentum of the Dark Iron attack. General Grimaxe, the Dark Iron leader, is attempting to rally his troops from the center of their lines on the frozen lake to the south. He stands atop one of their new dark iron golems, shouting orders to his men. If he succeeds in rallying them, they may still be able to overpower us. You must prevent that, {name}. Destroy the golem guarding him, then kill General Grimaxe himself. He is the key to our victory.

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.

    My chief engineer tells me that he's managed to get one of the bombers repaired and airworthy. Take these bombs with you, and look for the repaired bomber at the start of the runway. Once you're airborne, use the bombs to do as much damage to the attacking Dark Iron dwarves as you can.

    So just how did all those Dark Iron warriors end up here, on the doorstep of Ironforge, on the verge of invading our city? Does not 'Empress' Moira, a member of our esteemed Council of Three Hammers, rule the Dark Iron? This cannot have happened without her knowledge and consent.
