For a reusable teleport from Theramore to Stormwind Keep, keep the previous Proof of Treachery and speak to [npc=4968].
For a reusable teleport from Mage Quarter (Stormwind) to Theramore, keep Return to Jaina and speak to [npc=2708].

And yes, after you've done the Theramore's Fall scenario, using the dialog to teleport makes you arrive high above ground, where the top floor of the tower used to be. You should be ready for that plunge with a Slow Fall effect. You can also visit Zidormi at the far end of the western bridge out of Theramore and return to the pre-destruction phase, if you wish to avoid the fall.

Description

We must make plans to destroy the remnants of the Defias. Please convey my thanks to Lady Jaina, back in Theramore. She has ever been a loyal friend and steadfast ally. Go to the Mage Quarter at the western end of the city and speak with Archmage Malin at the foot of the tower there. He will speed your return to Theramore.

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.
