Just incase others are trying to get there from Northern Barrens. What you need to do is follow the divide ALL THE WAY West. When you are close to where it goes into stone talon, you'll see a section where the divide finally stops, and from there you can get to the opposite side.
Also, I'd like to suggest to mods, spend some time cleaning up the old comments of changed zones since the information may no longer be accurate.
