TheWoWDBBugged for me as of 8/18 in the AM. Every time I hop on Swiftwing and zone into the Great Sea the game will disconnect me and I come back dismounted and unable to proceed with the quest. Submitted a bug report.

Description
Between the information I gathered from my scouting mission and Mathias Shaw's intel, we know exactly where Blood Prince Dreven is going to be. We will have our revenge, {name}. For ourselves, for my sisters, for the Alliance. We won't underestimate the san'layn this time. We will keep the Horde off-balance and distracted with swift, targeted, ruthless attacks. Thankfully, the Wildhammer are masters of those combat tactics. I'm glad they'll be joining us. Are you ready to leave?

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.

Storyline
Blood in the Water
Part 2 of 11.
We've intercepted a Horde missive, and learned that Blood Lord Dreven is currently aboard a Horde ship on the Great Sea. We've lost too many good men to Dreven. It's time to make him pay.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Intercepted Orders
Good to see you again, <name>. Mathias and I are discussing what to do with new intel that his SI:7 agents procured for us. The intercepted letter contains orders from Warchief Sylvanas for an operation the Horde is undertaking at sea. This could be a rare opportunity, or a distraction.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Behind Enemy Boats
This is where our information ends, <name>. Blood Prince Dreven is lurking in one of those Forsaken boats, but we don't know which boat or which section of that boat he's in. We'll split up and hit the boats simultaneously, so the Horde has less time to react.
The storyline at a glance
Blood in the Water has 11 steps, from Intercepted Orders to Operation: Gryphon's Claw.
