If you go to Dalaran, Lldine Sorrowspear (in the enchanting shop) will sell you rank 2 of each enchantment in this quest. It will save you a total of 6 arkhana and 5 leylight shards.
rank 3 would be work orders in different zones - I'm not that far yet, but I assume there is too much work involved to do those prior to finishing this quest.

Seems to be a phasing issue, because I can't turn it in
Edit: Got back the day after and could turn it in
you don't have to make it yourself, just turn in the enchanted vellum as a quest item to the npc.

Description
To earn my mark, {class}, you must first prove yourself in battle to me. There is a naga I wish to kill, but I am not strong enough to slay him. Before we go into battle together, I need your help as an enchanter to become stronger. I'm sure by now you have a bevy of enchantments in your repertoire. Make some for me so that I may become strong enough again to make a difference in this world.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Druid's Debt
In order to grant you my mark, <class>, I must first be made strong enough to come to your aid should you need it. Within the ruins of Nar'thalas, my idols sit dormant. As I've said, I'm not strong enough to get them myself. But you are strong, I can sense it.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Sentinel's Final Duty
Now that I'm stronger, it's time to test your mettle, and mine. As I mentioned earlier, there is a powerful naga I wish to kill. His name is Fathom-Commander Eksis. He was responsible for slaying many of my kin before he retreated into hiding, commanding his troops from the shadows.
