When a Plan Comes Together

When a Plan Comes Together is a Horde-only quest for level 50. It is step 1 of 13 in The Strike on Boralus storyline, the opening step. The quest's turn-in marker is in Tiragarde Sound at 86.9, 53.2. It rewards 850 experience and money.

Description

Having Derek Proudmoore's body in our possession is a greater boon than we had planned for.

Valentine is risen, but I think it best to allow Derek to lay dead for a bit longer.

It's time to use our new allies to our advantage.

Have been stuck on this step of the War Campaign for about a week now. I stand there and listen to his plan and nothing happens, no credit. Have tried /reload, relogging, restarting game, nothing works. Been reporting it, at this point I am wondering if they just don't have the next step of the quest implemented yet.
