TheWoWDBIf you happen to end up in the wrong part of the map with no Prophet Velen when the vision starts (north side of Karabor, as happened to me), drop the quest and restart it, for there is no way to get to the place where the stages of the quest take place. Once dropped and re-picked up, you should be on the stairs on the easternmost part of Karabor where Prophet Velen actually is.
Edit: Several others have suggested letting the mobs kill you and resurrect on the opposite side of the door, but this did not work for me or two guild members. If it works for you, good on you, but I recommend everyone at least trying the drop-and-reacquire approach before resorting to such draconian measures.

This just happened to me, but after dropping the quest multiple times and re-logging, I was still spawning to the north of Karabor. To solve it, I let the mobs in the area kill me, then (in ghost form) I ran through the door at (77,41) and visited the kind Spirit Healer at (78,46). I was then able to kill Krull and complete the quest.
It's worth noting that Velen is at 35.3, 49.1 in Moonwillow Peak, not at the coordinates at the top of the page.

Description
Threads of the future weave together, winding and unwinding, creating tapestries that change in form and color from one moment to the next. I must have clarity. I must focus on the ONE strand that will become reality. When you are ready to share in my vision, drink the elixir. When the vision begins, be on your guard. The events of the vision are as deadly as anything we experience in this reality.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Clarity Elixir
I see a thousand glimpses of the future, swimming in a chaotic blur. It is possible to focus my energies to see the true eventuality - the future most likely to come to pass. I will need an oracle stone to focus my power, and a special elixir to still my mind.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Chasing Shadows
Not all of the Shadowmoon orcs followed Ner'zhul's alliance with the Iron Horde. Among them, there is one orc whom I befriended many years ago. She may be able to tell us more about Ner'zhul's plans for this "Dark Star." She can be found at Exile's Rise to the northeast.
