I assume this quest chain works as an introduction to Outland, where this is the initial quest.
I'm not sure if you still need some help with this, but there is an NPC called Zidormi at location 48.2, 7.2 in the Blasted Lands that allows you to phase between Classic and Warlords version of Blasted Lands. Speak to the NPC to switch between phases as needed. You will receive the "Time Travelling" buff (infinite duration) when you are viewing Classic Blasted Lands.

Description
The only reason you see me standing aside Alliance soldiers is because our duty outweighs our enmity... however slightly. We have been charged with protecting the Dark Portal from unauthorized travel, and with the recent cataclysm, we are particularly susceptible to an attack. We've already heard reports of black dragons in the area... With my men focused on their duty, we need someone to keep the area demons in check. Around the portal you will find three demon lieutenants. Slay them.
