If you just got to 100 (paid or leveling) you should know that this quest line is a prerequisite for:
[quest=38344] - Which is the quest-line that offers heirloom upgrades via heroics
[quest=35988] - Which is the quest-line that offers the legendary ring for this expansion at the endAt first I just thought the quest was not available to me. After contacting a GM he confirmed that this was thew quest I needed to do.
Good Luck!
