TheWoWDBBoth this quest and the quest "A Celestial Task" need to be in your log or they both may become unavailable. I think you can still get each factions dailies but I'd just check ur log when you get close to revered with the golden lotus.

Reading the quest text might clue you in to the fact that in order to open up Shado-Pan rep grinding, you have to get to revered with the golden lotus. Namely, this bit of the quest text: "To join the Shado-Pan order is a long journey full of hardship. If this is the path you seek, then you must first prove your worth."
for those who abandoned this quest and can not pick again; just find someone who has it in his quest log, and ask him to share it with you in a party.

Description
The Shado-Pan rank among Pandaria's oldest defenders. For years we train in our snow-capped monastery high in the Kun-Lai Summit, perfecting the martial secrets passed down by our ancestors. Our numbers may seem few, but a single Shado-Pan can be deadlier than a hundred trained soldiers. To join the Shado-Pan order is a long journey full of hardship. If this is the path you seek, then you must first prove your worth. There is urgent work to be done here. Help the Golden Lotus defend the Vale.
