TheWoWDBThis is a pretty obscure quest that most people will probably never know exist.
Have to make some specific choices in the War Campaign to be offered this quest. First you have to side with Sylvanas earlier on at Grim Tidings. Continue questing as a Sylvanas Loyalist for a while. When you reach Leaders of the Horde, Eitrigg will give you the choice "This is madness. We must leave Orgimmar at once.". Once you pick that, the followup quest will be Not My Warchief.
It's honestly quite cool how different choices will send you on slightly different questlines. For a completionist, it can get a bit frustrating figuring out how to do them all though.

What to do
Description
There is little time. Sylvanas likely knows of my intentions and sent you to deal with me accordingly. I doubt she will be pleased with your decision. We must make our way to the wyverns and take to the skies.
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.
- Most Loyal
The Dark Lady anticipated this as a possible outcome. She has prepared a contingency plan to deal with it accordingly. You are to rendezvous with her in the Ghostlands. Take this hearthstone. It is good for one more use. She will meet you near Windrunner Spire.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Eve of Battle
<name>, we must speak of the Horde... and the warchief. The war has proven costly, and the battle against Azshara drained what little resources we had left. The Horde is divided once more and the Alliance fares little better than we do.
