TheWoWDBFor Patch 6.2.3 or higher with a low level character on which you used the instant upgrade to level 100, you still get to Pandaria by using this quest chain.
I was definintely able to get The Art of War from the Warchief's Command Board in Orgrimmar (I used the board in the Valley of Honor after trying to find the portal to Pandaria there).
The best board to go to is the one in the Valley of Strength immediately outside of Grommash Hold, Orgrimmar.
As soon as you enter Grommash Hold, the cinematic will start assuming you picked up the quest.
Once you turn in this quest to [npc=54870], he will offer you All Aboard!.
I imagine it will be similar for the other skipped Expansion Packs.

I made Garrosh wait! :D
This quest, as well as the other starting Panderia quest, are auto-completed for you when you boost a character to level 90. There is no way to go and do them, and no way to get the items from them other than the old raids that share the models.
I spoke with a GM that said there would be "many many" problems if this was not done. The GM said, despite being able to clearly see the quest were auto-completed and we got nothing from them, they cannot grant the items, "their system won't allow it". I was told that "it sucks but I get a level 90 with 2 max profressions". I informed the GM that I didn't get max profressions because I boosted from level 1, and they asked me if I had professions at level 1. I had to explain to the GM how their boost system works, and that you only get boosted profressions if you are level 60.
