Ok, so if you're like me and you're questing in Mount Hyjal at level 120, you might find that you can't find Ysera anywhere, because where she was supposed to stand, is Magni standing there with his diamond butt staring blankly at some sort of monster lurking in the lake. You can't talk to him, and killing the monster does nothing. No hints whatsoever, Magni just stands there looking diamond-y, ignoring you.
What you have to do to make him move his butt out of the way and allow Ysera to return, you'll have to pick up A Fresh Trauma in the Chamber of Heart and do that. He'll be like, oh, please go to Nordrassil in Mount Hyjal and kill this lake monster and also some of the lesser monsters around the lake, and once you're done, please return to me in the Chamber of Heart.
Once you've done this, you can return to Mount Hyjal, and Ysera will be there waiting for you to turn in this quest.

IMPORTANT INFO:
- End of the Supply Line and Harrying the Hunters can be done by both factions, but "The Voice of..." followup requrement is different.
- Goldrinn's Ferocity and Howling Mad allows other players to share you quests next on line, but Lycanthoth the Corruptor{H} will let you be in same phase as npc.
- Into the Maw!{A2;H;H2}. There are 2Alliance and 2Horde variants, for each faction one from wolf spirit and one backup from main quest guy in Shrine of Goldrinn.
- Whole Firelands Forgeworks(8) chain doesn't have any pre-quests. You can get first time to Hyjal and ask warlock to summon you there and do the quests. However Lightning in a Bottle{H} is needed to use the standart teleport.
