Yes, if you go back to his usual place the entire level is empty. Leaving you confused and disappointed.
Your wish is my command :) Here are the sound files for everything he shouts during this quest:

As an added bonus, here's a macro that will select one of the above clips at random and play it:
/script s="Sound\\Creature\\LichKing\\EH_LichKing_Chapter3Shout"; s=s..({"01","02","03","04","05","06","08","09","10","11","12","13","14","15","16","17"})[math.random(16)]..".wav"; PlaySoundFile(s)==========
Just remember, only YOU can hear these clips when you play them. Other players in Azeroth can't.

Description
The trap has been sprung, death knight. The armies of Hearthglen and Tirisfal have arrived, just in time to see their enclave in flames! If they turn back now, they fight us with their backs turned. <Mograine shakes his head.> No, they have only one option, which has only one outcome: APOCALYPSE! As we speak, they prepare to make one final stand. The Lich King awaits your return, champion. He stands watch below us, at Death's Breach.
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.
- Scarlet Armies Approach...
We must prepare for the encroaching armies, <name>. You will take what you have discovered to Highlord Mograine at once! I will open a portal directly to Acherus. Step inside and it will transport you. Give Highlord Mograine Abbendis' journal as well. Perhaps he'll find it useful.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- An End To All Things...
You have slaughtered legions beyond number and still your dark heart craves more. Your hunger knows no end, <name>. <The Lich King pauses.> There must come an end to all things, death knight. The Scarlet armies make their final stand against us. For them, there is no escape... no choice.
