TheWoWDBThis is mostly a "flavor" questline with 1000 Rajani rep and 1500 azerite at the end.
As BFA is done, and know with certainty this questline doesn't lead anywhere or open up anything.
If you came here looking to see if this is worth doing...unless the rep and azerite at the end appeals to you, or if you are interested in MoP/BFA lore or just enjoy questing for the sake of questing, the answer is probably not.

Description
<A viscous dark ooze drips from this large chunk of amber. Attempting to wipe it off is futile, as the ooze is seemingly created by the amber itself. As you hold it, unintelligible whispers fill the back of your mind. The Shado-Pan will surely want to examine it.>
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.

- Once More Into Kor'vess
You found this on a member of the swarm? It seeps with corruption... and with power. We could be faced with a serious threat if the rest of the mantid's amber is similarly corrupted.
