It looks as though this is the quest that you get if you complete Vashj'ir, where you aid Nazgrim in assaulting the Throne of the Tides.

That is why he calls you 'Old Friend,' and says he is pleased you made it out of the depths.

I can't wait to help Nazgrim again! He's a boss. Wreckin' Naga like they nothin'.

More for RP than anything, there's two versions of this quest, the other being http://www.wowhead.com/quest=29611#comments:id=1718691

Basically, if you've never completed the Vash'jir questline, you'll get the other version, with Nazgrim commanding you to see Ogrelord Overlord Hellscream at once, while this one greets you with slightly friendlier fanfare.

Either way, it's best not to keep Garrosh waiting, Pandaria (and a pretty exciting pre-cinematic) awaits!

Description

Lok'tar Ogar, old friend. It has been too long since last we spoke. It is good to see that you emerged safely from the depths of Vashj'ir. I am stationed here in Grommash Hold. All in service to the Horde are to swear allegiance to their new Warchief. You would do well not to keep him waiting, {name}.

Where to go

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.
