TheWoWDBUsing the egg just made the avatar appear straight away and attack us, there were no blood drinkers and no dowsing of the flames as the quest text indicated.

The Egg used to summon the Avatar remains in your inventory upon completing the quest. Inventory space being at a premium, I destroyed mine assuming Lord Itharius would provide another Egg if I spoke to him. Unfortunately he doesn't (oh dear...) so I suggest you keep yours.
Luckily, I still have my Yeh'kinya's Scroll.
It is a bit disappointing that they just reused the quest text instead of just modify it to keep it up to date.
He also talks about when you return the quest on how he is afraid t hat they will re-summon Hakkar at Zul'Gurub, when to this date Hakkar is dead and Zul'Gurub is in ruins.
And I know there used to be a Zul'Gurub but since this is the Cataclysm and all quests are reflecting that it wouldn't be SO hard to just slightly change the quest text a bit.

Description
Hakkar... The mere mention of The Soulflayer's name will send many running. In the Sanctum of the Fallen God the Atal'ai have recovered a significant portion of his skeleton and seek to restore him to life. Already his children have begun to show up in the area. Place this egg in that sanctum, and it will force his summoning prematurely. {name}, do not hesitate. Strike once his avatar appears!
