It's rather disappointing that finishing these quests doesn't phase the zone out so the Horde owns Freewind Post again. :(

On a side note: I got Thousand Needles Quests while just going for the end quest by doing all it's pre-requisit quests and some side quests that were in the same area. (Also did a chain started with Special Delivery for Brivelthwerp but afaik this is not needed.)
Note: 07/11/2011, changed the 1st sentence, it was originally "An overview of all the quests needed to get there:" to avoid some confusion as to what this post is all about.
After finishing this quest chain, I'm really hoping that we'll personally get to play a part in Magatha's presumably inevitable downfall, rather then it simply being an event that takes place in a future novel or something similar.

Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Doomstone
At the core of Animus is an artifact known as the Doomstone. One of its properties is an ability to absorb a great deal of energy. This is how the cultists are trying to set off the explosion... by overloading the stone and amplifying the power through the elemental. Bring me the Doomstone.
