TheWoWDBThese are by far the most tedious part of any class campaign. Absolutely pointless.. Maybe one or two but five? I think if you have a main who's done them all you should be able to skip these or something.

Five 12 hour missions.
For those of us doing this in 2021+
Don't worry about failing any missions. They must've fixed it.
I was worried reading other comments about having to abandon the quest and redo it if you failed any.
I failed the first 3 "Oculus Preparations" missions because my champions were level 38-39 at the time.
After the first 3, they were level 40-41.
I kept going because I was leveling them up anyways; I won the next 5 after that.Never had to abandon the quest.
I did a total of 8 missions (8 hours...) but at least I didn't have to start over.

Description
The Oculus appears to have fallen to the Burning Legion and is heavily shielded. We will need to figure out a way to get you inside. I suspect your champions can help us out quite a bit.

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.

After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Eye of Azshara: A Magical Affliction
Archmage Vargoth's betrayal is an unimaginable loss to our cause, <name>. We will have to deal with him, but first Meryl's condition has become dire. Unfortunately it is not an illness at all, but a magical attack of fel origin. It may be his old nemesis Kathra'natir is behind it.
