You dont have to do entire Darkshore quest line, just handover the quest on the ship and port back to SW. Anduin will be back on his throne :-)
This Quest shares phasing with the Battle for Darkshore quest line. Basically Anduin is already there and can't be in the Throne room at the same time.
Quest and events change the world around you through "Phasing", placing you in a certain time or story setting.
As long as you are on the phasing quest line, you won't be able to see or interact with other players or NPCs who are in a different phasing than you.
Imagine it like having a savegame, that is progressing through the times.
If you started on any of these quests (if any of these is marked as complete in the macro below) , you must complete all of them to see Anduin in Stormwind again.

Description
{name}, King Anduin has requested our presence in Stormwind. We've sent him reports on our situation here in Nazjatar, and he understands the severity of the threat we're facing. For him to pull both of us back from the front lines, it must be a matter of grave importance. I will meet you in Stormwind Keep.

- Stay of Execution
When I was younger, Baine Bloodhoof and I began exchanging letters. Through our unlikely friendship, I learned that there was nobility in the Horde. He proved that by defying Sylvanas when she planned to strip the free will from Derek Proudmoore. That act of nobility will cost him his life...
