Just keeping an eye on wowhead for it,wowhead shows the region dailies 
rhs 2 panels down.
Mainly because it is something incomplete and annoying me. 'How long 
would I have had to wait?'
http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/17999420662
and others , a different quest in the set
http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/16951405510?page=2
also show some long waits .
A very long stretch down to below 0.6% could be just RNG but multiples? 
in succession?
So it turns up today and guess what, 30 days, same as the other long wait.

It is possible I missed a day,with time zones and such, murphy says it 
turned up on that day but otherwise what's the odds? rng , time gate or bug?





Spoilers

Do not proceed if you want to enjoy wow this can really destroy immersion.
















Seriously, go back















Okay





Next time you are really bored try counting bugs
this can really destroy immersion.
Just before stopping I counted 146 in 6 hours. By the 4 bars-slash 
method, no details but probably 2/3 were close together, 
bug-retry-bug-retry-success. Quest reset, relogs, reloadui, quest not 
opening, anything at all since it was just a count.
The response to bugs was so automatic it was hard at first to notice and 
break flow.
So, one every 2-1/2 minutes or so, actually every 5 to 10 minutes since 
they were often grouped but I was getting really unforgiving after a while.

Now tell me missing quests are all just RNG :-)
