This quest has a lot of dialogues and interactions that I'll try to record here.

When you pick up both The Age of Mortals and Aerial Supremacy this dialogue triggers:

Merithra: "Once more to battle, Vyranoth. May this be the last between our kind."
Vyranoth: "You are a dreamer, little one. Like your mother before you."

When you use the quest item [item=208752] close to allies to empower them they will usually have something to say:

Kalecgos is with Stellagosa and Tyrygosa with an army of his own mirror images fighting off a large number of primalists.
Tyrygosa: "Well, well. Just like old times, eh Kalec? It's been too long."
Kalecgos: "And this time we fight for a just cause."
Stellagosa: "Just as Grandfather would have wanted. He flies with us still."

Cenarius is channeling into treants fighting a Proto-Drake.
Cenarius: "I appreciate the inclusion, even if it is my own boon."

The four remaining Scalecommanders Azurathel, Cindrethresh, Emberthal and Viridia are fighting a small collection of enemies.
Scalecommanders Azurathel: "We stand with the Alliance!"
Scalecommanders Cindrethresh: "We fight for the Horde!"
Scalecommanders Emberthal: "The dracthyr will safeguard all of Azeroth!"

Maiev Shadowsong, her brother Jarod Shadowsong, Shandris Feathermoon and surprise Tess Greymane are fighting together.
Shandris Feathermoon: "We cannot lose Amirdrassil!"
Maiev Shadowsong: "We won't. Not on my watch."

Tukkaraq, Hanu, Tutaqan (with Qipi!) and Brena are here too! Tuskarr from all over the Dragon Isles are fighting primalists.
Hanu: "What happens if we die in the Dream?"
Brena: "Try not to think about it."

Wrathion and Sabellion are holding a large force all by themselves with constant fire breaths.
Wrathion: "Lets take them down, general!"
Sabellion: "And here I thought you would want to recruit them."
Wrathion: "I may be the "diplomat," but even I have standards."
Sabellion: "I am pleased to hear it. And just as pleased to fight by your side."

Malorne is here too but he isn't fighting. Instead the enemies around him as asleep while he sits in the middle of them. A primalist cries:
Primalist Flamewarden: "Don't get too close! He will put you to sleep like the others!"

The founding of Orgrimmar crew are almost back together with Rexxar (along with his animal companions Misha, Spirit, Huffer and Leokk) Rokhan, Chen Stormstout and Baine Bloodhoof are fighting together.
Rexxar: "You've become quite the warrior, Baine."
Baine Bloodhoof: "My father's hoofprints were large, but I grew to fit."

The Loa of Change has unexpectedly showed up but has an opinion on being bolstered by Cenarius's Horn.
Q'onzu The Horn of Cenarius? How droll. Next time, let's use the Kazoo of Q'onzu!

Ohn'ahra is fighting in the air above a regiment of centaur raining an endless volley of arrows down on enemy forces with Scout Tomul and Tigari Khan leading them.
Scout Tomul: "Let's show these two-foot the thrill of the hunt!"
Tigari Khan: "The winds of Ohn'ahra herself carry us forward to victory!"
Scout Tomul: "For Clan Shikaar!"
Tigari Khan: "For Ohn'ahra and the plains!"

A large number of wounded allies are being protected and healed by Prophet Velen who is being safeguarded by High Exarch Turalyon!
High Exarch Turalyon: "For the Light!"
Prophet Velen: "This tree shall not be consumed!"

The Niffen are here! Perisimona, Tuberros, Effervesta and Elder Honeypelt are taking on a single Djaradin themselves. I couldn't find any dialogue here.

Another WC3 crew of Thrall, Jaina Proudmoore and Tyrande Whisperwind with some Sentinels of the New Moon are fighting a fair number of forces themselves.
Thrall: "The Horn of Cenarius!"
Tyrande Whisperwind: "It has been too long since we fought side by side. As we did against Archimonde."
Jaina Proudmoore: "But this tree shall not be sacrificed."

The Dragonscale Expedition is here with a special guest! Pathfinder Tacha, Pathfinder Jeb, Toddy Whiskers, Naleidea Rivergleam and Archmage Khadgar are holding their own with arcane shields, some of the enemy forces polymorphed and the Archmage channeling into an arcane portal.
Naleidea Rivergleam: "Archmage, watch your flank!"
Toddy Whiskers: "Archmage, huh? Not "handsome wizard" today?"
Archmage Khadgar: "Thank you for the warning. And the compliment."

The Horde have arrived in modest numbers, Lilian Voss and Lor'themar Theron are here holding their own with enemy corpses around them.
Lor'themar: "I didn't know if you'd make it, Lilian."
Lilian Voss: "The Forsaken have much to atone for."
Lor'themar: "I understand. But this is a good start."

Mayla Highmountain and Archdruid Hamuul Runetotem are here. No dialogue found. :(

Not far from Mayla and Hamuul is Gelbin Mekkatorque who is back in his mechsuit fighting the good fight. No dialogue.

Not far from from Gelbin is Celestine of the Harvest, Genn Greymane and Moira Thaurissan to help their allies out!
Celestine of the Harvest: "It feels good to fight for a home instead of fleeing one."
Genn Greymane: "And to repay a kindness long overdue."

On the corner of the battlefield Chromie and Eternus are channeling into a sandy wall locking enemy forces in time!
Chromie: "Isn't it nice to fight on the same side for once?"
Eternus: "For now."
Chromie: "Oooo, ominous!"

And all throughout Ashendir Hartwood, the Prophet of Flame is yelling across the battlefield over and over:
Ashendir Hartwood: "Leave naught but scorched earth!"
Ashendir Hartwood: "Do not let them near the temple!"
Ashendir Hartwood: "The time is at hand. We must destroy them!"
Ashendir Hartwood: "Their numbers mean nothing! We shall prevail!"
Ashendir Hartwood: "These false heroes cannot win!"
Ashendir Hartwood: "Keep ranks! Do not let them break through."
Ashendir Hartwood: "Block their way to the Wellsping!"
Ashendir Hartwood: "Burn them beneath our flames!"

EDIT: Doing this quest much later I found Ebyssian and Alexstrasza in their true dragon form flying about the area taking out Proto-Drakes with other unnamed Emerald Dragons. Not sure how I missed them the first go around.

Description

Once again, the mortal races have come together to defend a World Tree. It is only fitting then that we bolster their efforts with a relic from that past battle. The Horn of Cenarius. I entrust the horn to you, {name}. Use it to bestow the blessings of Cenarius to our allies. With luck, it will allow us to break through Fyrakk's forces and open a path to the temple. And do not forget to lend your strength as well. Every enemy felled is one fewer between us and Fyrakk.
