TheWoWDBDon't make the mistake of running around and trying to kill demons to make the boss spawn (like I did).
You must talk to Taoshi. Waves of adds will spawn and you can move on with the questline.

Just how do the sewers of Suramar connect to the sewers of Dalaran? There's some weird Mario Bros stuff going on here.
If you should encounter the bug that the event does not start.
The easiest fix is to get your characters butt into a different phasing. And it should be possible to restart the event by talking to Taoshi
How to do:
1. Queue up in Groupfinder, for a custom Pre-Made group e.g. at the time there are many groups around farming in Dalaran Sewer... Or a Fishing for Mana group.
Just make sure that after you started the event, if it is a raid to leave it otherwise you will not be able to do the quest due to the raidrestriction....
2. Ask a friend that is on another server-Categorie and/or Region, to shoot you a groupinvite...

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Captive Spymaster
We must move swiftly while the distraction is working. Mathias Shaw is being held in the lower levels of the Halls of the Eclipse directly to the south. Quickly, <name>, we must go!
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- A Simple Plan
Like many dreadlords, Detheroc cannot help but gloat. He was careless and I overheard many of his plans while I was held captive. With your leave, I would like to underscore the gravity of the situation in Stormwind. The fate of Azeroth hangs in the balance.
