If you are seeing the exclamation mark for this quest at Karsus Landing in [zone=7502] but there's nothing there, that means that you probably ignored the Enhancment's artifact quest at your Class Hall !
Go back there and speak to [npc=99531] (Thrall's wife) at 35.7, 79.3 and accept the Enhancement quest.
Then, Stormcaller Mylra will appear right in front of you at 35.0,76.1 mounted in a Stormbeak - just click on it! :)

I don't think I've ever been quite so confused with quests.

My shaman is alliance and Elemental spec. This quest showed on Myra while I was doing the Firelands quest chain, so I picked it up. When I'd completed the Firelands stuff and went back to the order hall, there was no Stormbeak to fly out on but there was a circle on my mini map where it should have been. Thinking it may just have been bugged, I dropped the quest and went back into Firelands but found no quest to pick up in there.

I checked here for help. Then I noticed it's a horde quest?

So, on an alliance Elemental shaman I was able to pick up a quest for a horde Enhancement shaman? Or.... ?

If Stormbeak won't appear, speak with Aggra and accept the Enhancement artifact weapon quest. Needless to say, it was a bit confusing when Stormcaller Myra offered this independantly different quest while I was doing the Shaman order hall campaign Brand of Damnation quest in the Firelands.

Description

You saved us all, shaman! Thank you! Thrall wants to dive right into the Maelstrom and retrieve the Doomhammer, but I worry - he was badly wounded in that last fight, and that demon Geth'xun may still be alive down there. We should go with him. Hop on Stormbeak when you're ready and we'll track down that artifact!

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.

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • What the Stonemother KnowsLevel 10-45

    We must split up. I am still badly wounded from my encounter with Geth'xun, and I don't want to appear weak before the Stonemother. This task falls to you. Travel to Therazane's Throne and speak to Therazane herself. Find out if she has seen the Doomhammer. Help her if she asks.

The storyline at a glance

Call of the Doomhammer has 7 steps, from Where the Hammer Falls to The Hammer in the Deep.
