If you get stuck in an endless loop after the culling, you can stay in Lorewalking Mode, go to Dragonblight in Northrend, 87.2, 57.4 and continue the timewalking quest The Forgotten Tale from Orik Trueheart and then The Truth Will Set Us Free . You'll get an orb and there are some trash rewards, but continue on to pick up the quest from Zelig in Wintergarde Keep. From there, you'll get the quest Frostmourne Cavern which will then let you complete the portion of "Learn about the Doomed Expedition."
In short, you can still travel the world in Lorewalking mode. Hopefully Blizz will fix this since the quests don't seem baked into the Lorewalking.
I defeated Mal'Ganis then got stuck in a loop where Cho keeps me sending to fight Mal'Ganis again.

Description
Before I can tell you the story of the Lich King, we must learn about who he was before he put on his crown. Before he pulled that cursed sword from the depths of Frostmourne Cavern. We must talk about the prince who was promised the world, and the people who championed his cause. We must start in Lordaeron, many years ago, on a day of pomp and circumstance.

Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Forgotten Tale
The toxins in the murkweed elixir will render you unconscious. So powerful is the effect of the murkweed that even your spirit will be fooled, allowing you to temporarily enter the world of the dead. Once a spirit, you must speak to the ghostly denizens of the Forgotten Shore.
