TheWoWDBTo do the 3 "boss" quests, members of your party have to all either be on the quest or have done the quests. This is a new feature blizzard put in where anyone not up to or past the quest chain will phase out of the area. So before you get a group together, make sure they are all on this quest or have done it in the past, otherwise you are gonna be in a situation where they cant see you or help you.

The ending of the quest is a little sad, he seems genuinely dissapointed that he had to have you kill her, going as far as expressing a bit of affection, but recognizes it was necessary.
It just struck me as odd because you very rarely see Death Knights display emotion and Undead even less so (other than anger of course).

Sapph's Cleaver, Axe of the Cunning, Icy Quick Edge, 21g, 5,150 XPDescription
Sapph... Sapph's a death knight like no other. She'll shower you with sweet words and you'll swear that she has no evil within her heart, and then she'll run you through without even breaking her smile. I have no fear that you'll be able to best Sapph, but do not grow overconfident. Her strength lies in lulling her victims into a false ease, shortly before shattering them with a fierce barrage of frost attacks. Do not let your guard down, and do not underestimate her.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Rider of the Unholy
It's time that we start cutting off the heads of the beast. I served beside Rokir for quite some time. He knows the unholy arts better than most any other death knight I've met and he's equally as ruthless. Rokir's strengths are most apparent when you are fighting him on his own ground.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Rider of Blood
Baelok is one of the few vrykul that I've ever seen rise through the ranks, and that was mostly accomplished through sheer brutality. If your competition ends up dead, there's far less to compete against.
