When I received the quest, Chief Telemancer Oculeth was right next to me, but I could not speak to him, while the quest '?' was near the portals.
Fix: I used a portal, and ported right back, and he was where he was supposed to be, and I was able to speak to him and turn in the quest.

I can confirm the same thing. Oculeth was invisible or phased or whatever. His question mark was on the minimap in his usual place. The fix is indeed to use a teleport and to come right back in. I went to MoonGuard and ported right back. and he was beside his table.
I had a similar issue - when I got this quest,. he was not even there, but I could see the question mark.. portalled out and back in and there he was. Thanks!

What to do
Description
There is a troubling silence from Suramar City this day. Oculeth just informed me that the teleporter to the Waning Crescent has gone dark. He is not able to reach Vanthir, nor am I. While I am hesitant to believe something dire has happened, I do feel this warrants investigation. Speak with Oculeth and see if he can transport you to the Waning Crescent. We need to find out what happened.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- One Day at a Time
Thank you for coming, outlander. It is good to see you again. I have a situation in the city that needs your attention, but first... Let us talk of hope. <Thalyssra gestures toward the arcan'dor.> The fruit of the arcan'dor can truly free my people from the Nightwell. However, it only grows so fast.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Crackdown
Thalyssra is right to be concerned! The network has not responded to my attempts to re-establish connection with the Waning Crescent. I do not know what happened, but given the circumstances I believe it prudent to investigate in person. <name>, would you do the honors?
