If you do not get the joining quest to Dalaran after completing this you can try a few things. First check your Adventure Guide to see if the quest is in there. Second try talking to Holgar Stormaxe [npc=4311] and select begin your journey in dalaran. Third try logging out for 5 minutes then logging back in.
In my case the game was acting like it was still on Lords of Dreanor. I had no xp bar to lvl past 100 and my Adventure Guide only showed old quests from Lords of Dreanor. In this case logging out for 5 minutes reset the game and got it running correctly for me.

To anyone on 30+ lvl having troubles to get the next quest, u can use the portal to Azsuna, fly to Dalaran, and talk with Amisi to get your Dalaran-Legion Heartstone. Apparently there is no blizz-solution to get the quest, but at least u can get stoned.
Sylvanas Windrunner: "I've gotten far more kills than you, Nathanos. You're slipping!"
Nathanos Blightcaller: "I'm your champion, Dark Lady. It's my job to make you look good."
Sylvanas Windrunner: "A Champion at making excuses it would seem!"And thus was born the Windcaller/Blightrunner ship.

What to do
Description
The Legion is bold indeed to strike at the Horde's stronghold! You aided our defense, but now I have a more important task for you. It seems the demon hunters will play a crucial part in this war... but I still don't trust them. You will be my envoy to the Illidari. Learn what they know. Study their techniques. If they betray us, we'll use their own knowledge against them. Their camp lies atop the plateau in the city. Go. Nathanos and I will clean up this mess.
