TheWoWDBAs of 8.3 this quest is bugged at max level. When you enter building you can see the chest, but when you approach the chest it disappear. After some initial cursing I realized that the inner part of the building is inside Uldum, so I guess we can blame N'Zoth.
So what you need to do is go to Ramkahen and talk to Zidormi and request to be sent to another point in Uldum's history.

Ran into this issue today while completing LM. Can confirm that changing back to the "old" Uldum works a treat. Big thanks to you Lesja.
I'm trying to do the [The Secrets of Uldum] quest and it keeps porting the treasure chest away due to crossing over to Uldum. What's the secret to having this stop?

Description
I studied these ruins for years trying to find a way in. We even took a good chunk out of the gate, only to find impenetrable walls beneath. Now the cataclysm may've wrecked everything in there something fierce, but it's done what we couldn't and opened a way in! I'd like you to have the honor, lad. Head on in there and see if anything's been left uncracked. Be careful though... there's no telling what, or who, might be stirring in there.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Fragments of Language
We've had our first big find in years here at the Southmoon ruins. My lads have dug up stone tablets, engraved with ancient writings. The glyphs on the tablets are like nothing we've ever seen, but I have a hunch we can connect them with titanic scripts found at other digsites.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Thunderdrome: Grudge Match!
It seems we have a special request! I have here a note from one Megs Dreadshredder, requesting to enter the cage and settle a dispute. She's asked for you to be her partner, <name>. A fan of your previous victories? Or perhaps you're acquainted outside the ring?
