Frost mages are getting stuck on this quest and this is the way to fix the problem. You need to get to the version of Deadwind Pass that no longer has Dalaran floating above it. In order to do that, you have to complete 3 quests. Go to the Dalaran above Broken Isles and talk to Archivist Elysiana in The Violet Citadel. She will ask:

Do you wish to hear a tale from the past, Player?

and you reply:

I want to experience the return of Magni Bronzebeard and Khadgar's adventures in Karazhan.

You receive the quest: Calling of the Council

Take the portal to Stormwind (or Orgrimmar for Horde), then take the same portal to the Dalaran over Deadwind Pass that you took for the quest In the Blink of an Eye. Talk to Khadgar outside the Violet Citadel and complete the quest. At that point Brann Bronzebeard shows up and offers you a nice little side trip to Ulduar:

The Diamond King

When you're finished in Ulduar, you take a portal to the front gate of Karazhan. At this point, if you look up, you'll still see Dalaran above you, so you're not where you want to be yet. Turn in the quest and pick up:

Hiding in the Stacks

When you finish in Karazhan, Khadgar will port you to the Dalaran above Deadwind Pass. However, when you turn in the quest, the game will reload and you will be in the Dalaran over Broken Isles. At this point, your problem is solved. Just take the portal to Karazhan in the Chamber of the Guardian. Dalaran is no longer over Deadwind Pass and the Abandoned Kirin Tor Camp is properly phased to finish The Deadwind Site quest.

Since the map is completely unhelpful, to get to the portal to Kharazan, you have to take the portal to Dalaran, then go into the center of Dalaran to the Chamber of the Guardian, and down the steps, the portal to Kharazan is on the right.

Description

Your research spoke of an experimental site out near Karazhan. I hope there are still materials on this ritual that will aid us there. You will need to find the site and bring back anything that will help us recreate the ritual. I will dig deeper here as well.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Alodi's GemsLevel 10-45

    Arrexis had a cadre of apprentices and subordinates to help him with the ritual, something you are currently lacking. In older times, when magic was less understood and spells required vast amounts of mana to cast, we stored mana in gems for use in complex spells.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Daio the DecrepitLevel 10-45

    That text lists someone named Daio as being instrumental to the demonic ritual. They can't possibly mean Daio the Decrepit! I never knew he was Kirin Tor. I only know him as an elderly warlock who trains young recruits in the infernal arts. This would certainly explain his change of occupation.
