For those who are stuck and not in a party. Try abandoning the quest. I had to abandon it 2-3 times and then Anduin finally spoke and some adds spawned.
If the quest doesn't start, keep abandoning it and picking it up until Anduin says "More shadows. We're trapped in here, aren't we?"

Description
I've never seen shadows this deep. This... vicious. It almost feels like they're reaching for us. <Faerin shudders.> We can't stay here.
Where to go
Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Final Resistance
<Faerin speaks in a hushed, furious whisper.> Good work. But before we can leave, there's something else. Down this way are some powerful priests. I think they are summoning something-- something big. No doubt to strike at us above and drive us from the tower itself.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Restore the Flame
Do you feel it? Hope, returning? Thank you for your help, <name>. The dawntower's flame remains dark. But this time, I think we'll be able to restore it. Let's meet at the tower.
