The Icecrown is done! Leave your comments/sugestions at my comment in Icecrown zone. Thanks everyone who helped me to make it via comments on wowhead and in-game pre-quest tracking.
Scourge Tactics is also required, although that may be obvious if you're already doing the two listed above. Just don't forget to pick it up! Immediately after doing all three of those, this quest will become available. Love the trinket rewards at the end of this chain =)

What to do
Description
Across the Valley of Echoes, west of here, and through the Breach, is the first Scourge encampment in Icecrown known as Scourgeholme. We fought a good fight at Scourgeholme and killed many Scourge, but in the end we were forced to retreat. Many soldiers were left behind - their fate unknown. If there are survivors, we must attempt a rescue. Directly down this southeastern path is Penumbrius, ally of the bronze dragonflight and caretaker of the proto-brood. Seek him out and ask for his assistance.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Scourge Tactics
We had the element of surprise on our side! We blew a hole in the side of the mountain and charged into Scourgeholme. Scourge opposition was fierce and it wasn't long until we were overwhelmed. We fell back to the valley and began raining artillery down on the Scourge that followed.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Into The Wild Green Yonder
We will do all that we can to assist you, <name>. The proto-brood have volunteered to fly you across the Breach and into Scourgeholme. Rescue any captured Argent Crusaders that you find. Return them immediately to the Vanguard Infirmary, located at the center of this base.
