TheWoWDBThe relevant threshold: you have to get Zirix down to 85% health to trigger the cutscene and the end of the quest. (There's also some buggy quest mechanics in case you join the fight and he's already below that number, in which case see the other comments.)

The highest voted Wowhead comments for this page. They are community notes, not TheWoWDB comments.
If Zirix is stuck on 1%. Use your dalaran hearthstone or cloak of coordination and get to stormwind. Turn on Warmode, go into the second level portal room and take portal to Isle of Dorn. Travel back to the quest area and they should be at full health. Start the fight and the cutscene should kick in a few moments through the fight.
All I did was log out, log back in, start the fight again and all good.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Shattered Spires
With nothing to contain their arcane power, Dalaran's spires are crumbling. If we let their energies continue to bleed out unchecked, that power could destabilize and destroy what is left of our forces. Find Aethas! He will know what to do.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- To Dornogal
You have brought death and destruction to our shores the likes of which has not been seen in millennia. But you have nerubian blood on your hands and a thraegar at your side. This is enough to earn my trust--for now.
