Umm, the facts Corvine tells you are completely inaccurate. Malfurion awoke a good while before the Shattering, as anyone who read the Stormrage novel knows.
Found out that you have to have Wrath of the Lich King installed for him to give you the next quest.

Description
It was only recently that we heard the news of Malfurion's awakening, mere moments before the Cataclysm occurred. As soon as he regained consciousness, he gave a cryptic warning about the land splitting in two if something wasn't done and how all the shockwaves were converging here on Darkshore. He then reportedly set off for somewhere in this vicinity. I was sent here to find him, but I've found my hands full helping the refugees. Perhaps you could look for him to the southeast for us.
