Through a Glass, Darkly
Look into the Eye of Eternity at the Nether Vortex in the Nexus.
Meet Tarecgosa inside the Nexus where she will escort you to the rift.
Description
<Tarecgosa listens as you explain your presence in Coldarra.>
Your tale rings true, <class>. Much has changed since the death of Malygos - little of it for the better.
I know of the device you carry, and I recognize Anachronos' magic in its creation. There is but one place in all of Coldarra that would allow this Timeless Eye to be used discreetly.
You will require my assistance if you hope to succeed. Speak with me again inside the Nexus and you shall have it.

Posted Jun 2, 2014 (Patch 6.0.1)Heading into
The Nexus while on this quest will take you to a special version of the Wrath of the Lich King dungeon. (Wowpedia's quest notes can be found here.)
Back when this was current, I did some parts of the solo instance as enhance (because it was what I knew best). Most of the others required that I be in the (intended) elemental spec in order to complete, such as the flying platforms and the final boss of the zone. It took me quite awhile to get the hang of ele because it was the third spec that I'd never used prior to Patch 4.2.0.
The following is my old comment on Wowhead. A lot of changes have occurred since then (and will be in 6.0), so I've had to heavily modify it but some I could not reconstruct. Spoiler tag is used to keep things compact.
Elemental Shaman Guide:
Use Stoneclaw and Grounding on CD. Do NOT use Healing Surge unless you are really low on health; Greater Healing Wave is much better despite its mana cost. Throw a FS on the add as it is coming up the ramp, if possible, since it won't start attacking until it has reached the platform.
Stay away and out of the shadow stuff. I cannot emphasize that enough even with a bold tag. Unless you're rocking full T12 gear, I doubt you can afford to take a hit. Not that you should want to, ever.
1.) Interrupt Thyrinar on CD (ie. WS -> Grounding -> WS -> Stoneclaw); don't bother with interrupting the add's fire nova.
2.) PURGE the HoT!
3.) Don't panic! Remember that you also have Spiritwalker's Grace, Bloodlust, and Elemental Mastery to use. If things get too dicey with the add(s), use your Fire Elemental and Earth Elemental (they are no good against the boss himself since he's out of reach).
Edit: Due to Wind Shear's baseline CD having been increased to 15 seconds as of patch 4.3, I strongly urge that you pick up Reverberation -- [tier 2 ele talent with 2 ranks; reduced the cooldown of your Shock spells by 0.5/1 sec and Wind Shear by 5/10 sec] -- ([url=ht tp ://w ww .wow hea d.c om/ta len t#hhG GGo fkzGZ bh Zb]baseline setup[/url]). Survival is more important for this quest than squeezing out a little more DPS.

It took me several attempts (100+ gold repair bill), but I did complete it. Tarecgosa will give you her buff when the boss is around 700k - 800k hp (not certain, was too busy staying alive) -- that does not mean you can start slacking off, but it will make things slightly easier.
Cleaned the format up some and added a bit more info. Second edit because of an extraneous bracket. :/
11/20/2011 -- Did some more cleaning and organizing.
1/8/2012 -- Inserted note about 4.3 change.
3/21/2012 -- Added title at top to increase visibility.
