For those like me wondering what to do after this, you should have a quest called "Machines of War" in your quest log, this is part of a string that gets you to TH. If you don't have it, the string starts from "The Warchief's Command"
Oh no not de bar! Take it outside, mon!

What to do
Description
The Warchief has designs to launch an all-out assault on the Twilight Highlands. Once there we hope to ally with the Dragonmaw orcs. Through my own sources I've discovered that a Dragonmaw orc resides here, in Orgrimmar. He is known as Herezegor Flametusk, and once he commanded legions of their warriors. His insider knowledge is precious to us. Find Flametusk and obtain for us a chart of the Twilight Highlands waterways. Last I hear, Flametusk was washed up at a bar in the Valley of Honor...

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Weapons of Mass Dysfunction
<Glibbs mops sweat from his brow with a greasy handkerchief.> Saurfang isn't happy with our work? This is very bad. My boys need to step it up. Maybe you can help set an example. A set of Hellscream Demolishers just rolled off the blocks and are ready for inspection.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Where Is My Warfleet?
The Highlands are the home of the Dragonmaw orcs. If we show them our might they would ally with us against the Twilight's Hammer. I am certain! The fleet is gathering at Bilgewater Port in Azshara but there are reports of delays.
