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.
