If you wonder why you can't pickup this quest, fear not because it's a breadcrumb quest - so never mind and head back to your Order Hall.
I've cleared this up with a GM, and here's the answer:
Hi there,
GM here! I hope that you are doing well today :)
I think I can shed some light on this issue for you! This quest is actually just a breadcrumb stage of the chain and isn't actually needed/possible to do if you have already progressed past this stage.
I've checked now and as you have completed Power Overwhelming you are indeed past this stage of the chain, so you can continue your Warlock campaign as you level up ^^
I hope this helps to clear things up.
Take care mate, and have a fantastic day! :)

When I got to this quest, I went around the instance looking for a portal (its been known to happen) to the turn-in location.
I went back to the entrance to the Catacombs and found Revil Kost there. Neither the Revil Kost at the entrance nor the Revil Kost at the finish wanted to port me, so I used [item=140192]
For anyone who actually wants to complete this it seems that if you choose the Demonology artifact BEFORE Affliction Revil will not offer the quest to talk to Calydus.

Description
I was wrong about you, warlock. Your assistance against the Dark Riders has proven a great service to the Light. Perhaps I should not be so quick to judge. Nevertheless, you have allowed me to fill my purpose in returning these artifacts to their rightful owners. As for Ulthalesh, I can think of no safer place than in your care. May it serve you well against the Legion, warlock.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Dark Riders
There's a sewer grate along the edge of the river leading to catacombs underneath Karazhan. I've never paid it much attention, but it could be where the spirits are directing us. To think, the Dark Riders may have been under our noses this entire time! Come, let us see where this leads.
After this quest
Taken from a quest that requires this one.
- The Heart of the Dreadscar
Friend has the artifact! Now Jagganoth does not stand a chance! Quickly, you must go back to Dreadscar Rift! You may still be able to save your friends from Jagganoth's vengeance. If you take the heart of the overlord, his army will be yours to command!
