TheWoWDBHello all,
We just wanted to clarify that this quest cannot be completed in LFR; it can only be completed on normal or higher difficulties, and this is working as intended.
Additional commentary was recently offered here:
It is intentional that the quests “In Nightmares” and “Essence of Power” cannot be completed on Raid Finder difficulty. That quest chain is intended to provide a cosmetic reward for participating in organized, non-matchmade content. As such, we wanted to keep this step in line with the previous steps in the chain, which require completing Mythic Dungeons.
This restriction is specific to this quest chain, which has a cosmetic-only reward. Other quest chains, such as “The Stuff of Dreams” from the Suramar campaign, will be completable through Raid Finder. We’ll be making some additional changes in Patch 7.1 to more clearly communicate when and where these restrictions apply.

With the recent hotfix the bosses always drop between 1-3 , also you can get a new item called [item=139771] which contains 5.
You are only able to loot the [item=139706] once a week per boss regardless of difficulty.
You will NOT be able to loot this item when killing the same boss on a different difficulty on the same week where you have already received this item.

Description
Now that we have a better understanding on the Heart's capabilities, it is time we tap into its true potential. In the Emerald Nightmare you will find creatures that should not be; monsters that defy all that the Dream stands for. All that the green flight itself stands for. Each of these fiends carry within them corrupted essence, as Oakheart did, but far more potent. Gather all that you can, and we will turn their corruption against them.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Emerald Nightmare: In Nightmares
We must do what we can to ensure that the Nightmare never again festers within the Emerald Dream. The aberration known as Il'gynoth lies at the heart of the corruption - a living, writhing manifestation of the horrors you will encounter at every turn of your journey.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Essential Consumption
As before, <name>, once you are ready raise your artifact and channel its energy upon the Heart of Zin-Azshari and we will unleash the power of the essence you gathered. Do not worry - we still have enough of the blood you gathered to ensure the ritual remains stable.
