I just figured it out. You have to complete the chain of quest that ends with Shutting Down Manaforge Coruu before she will give you this one. So make sure you do the quest chain that leads up to Shutting Down Manaforge Coruu and your golden.

What to do
Description
The news you've discovered is fortunate, {name}. Not only do you get to waltz into Manaforge Duro unfettered, this also presents a great opportunity to deal a blow to Kael's army. Use the mana creature assault to your advantage and pick off any Sunfury stragglers you run into. I do not take particular glee in the senseless slaughter of my own kin the way that Thalodien does, but the tactical advantage here is too high to pass up.
Where to go
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.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Shutting Down Manaforge Ara
You've done much better than any of us anticipated. Manaforge Ara is the last of Kael's working manaforges. You'll find it northwest of here, though you're likely to have to do some circumnavigating to get to it. We want you to shut it down.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- A Defector
We've recently been contacted by a Sunfury magister who wishes to join our ranks and swears he has information we're in need of. We've checked our informants to make sure he's not a double agent and he checks out. He's stationed in Manaforge Ara which makes communication difficult.
