TheWoWDBJust to help out my fellow mages, and not waste time like I did trying to google the answer and all and finding absolutely nothing.. to "break the barrier" all you have to do is BLINK through the transparent wall in front of you.

Let me help all mages out there as I fell victim of the same thing and searched all over. Someone mentioned about joining a different instance and then leaving the instance and walking up the stairs.
Well that seems to be the temp fix for this quest. So, here's what you will do. Before heading up the stairs to Archmage Vargoth, join a random lfg like... Levantus, this is definitely the best way to jump you into another instance. Once you get autoaccepted, kill the mobs that reappeared, and then leave the lfg party and walk up the stairs and it will trigger the rest of the quest for you to complete.

Mondan - Dragonblight
EDIT: So I abandoned it a couple more times, joined a random party from LFG tool (which didn't allow the parts of the quest to work) and then left the party and carried on with the quest then walked up the stairs and it had fixed. Not sure if that will help you much but that is what I did.EDIT 4/10/17 - Some people are still stating that this issue is known and are having issues with hopping to another "instance." I know I kept saying instance, wrong terminology, my apologies.
USE THIS TOOL - https://mods.curse.com/addons/wow/crossrealmassist
Cross realm assist automatically does a group finder for you and places you into a different realm. Then you leave the raid/group that you found and continue on the quest."Happy Questing!" And Aluneth is still a sassy staff. ;3
I had an issue where Archmage vargoth was frozen and didn't do anything.
Following some advice on here I teleported to orgrimmar, turned on war mode, teleported back to dalaran, and glided down to suramar and to the cave entrance again. Vargoth was fixed when I returned and he summoned the NPC in order to progress.

Description
Millhouse attracts trouble, so he's sure to find Archmage Vargoth if he's still here. Oh and if you do find the Nightborne Soulstone, best get it first!

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- More Than Just A Food Vendor
Your champions made a good dent in thinning out the enemy's numbers. They also discovered a number of starving prisoners who could use our help. Your Conjured Mana Pudding or Fritters will be useful in getting them up on their feet.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- A Terrible Loss
I would say I am surprised by this terrible turn of events, but nothing surprises me of late. It is dark times when even the most upstanding of us can fall... We had best inform Archmage Khadgar of Vargoth's betrayal.
