It is looted from the last boss on floor 6 and you may do this on any layer. Knowing this will save you some time since you don't have to go searching every nook and cranny. :)

Seems like, unlike the Jaina week, Thrall is going to be waiting a week after we pick up his trail. I didn't get Torment Chamber: Thrall after turning this in.
Not to mention if you miss a week you dont get to catch up to everyone else you just get left behind. Rip

What to do
Description
From what the captive dredger told you, it seems Thrall has been taken deep into Torghast. The torments he is enduring must be unimaginable. We need to learn where he is being held before the trail goes cold. The tower is vast and perilous. Search where you are able. Bring back any clues you find. Go carefully, {name}. The Jailer's eye is upon you.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Finding a Witness
You have rescued two of our allies from Torghast, but Anduin and Thrall have yet to be found. That tower's corridors are vast... seemingly endless. You could spend an eternity wandering those unholy halls. In your expeditions, you have encountered many unfortunate prisoners.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Torment Chamber: Thrall
Using the totem you recovered, I will alter the Attuned Shard to guide you to Thrall's location. <Bolvar hands you the crystalline object.> Take care. You know the torments Baine and Lady Proudmoore endured in that accursed place. Thrall's confinement will be no less harrowing. Beware.
