I am currently trying to finish up the questlines in Surumar (yes,
those scripts you posted worked well and I am maxed at 2000 possible
ancient mana now). But gathering the mana is still damn annoying. I have
about 650 and need 1200 to give to wassisname to continue on the
storyline quests to finish the zone achievement (and the Pathfinder
achievement as well).

You will be shocked, nay STUNNED, to hear that I actually like the
Illidan storyline in Legion as well. Granted, I'm still ignoring most of
the lore, but the core story is pretty cool, and going back to Black
Temple as Illidan? That was sweeeet.

You will want to just collect as many resources as you can since you
will be able to buy the AR with resources to get up to the 800% level or
so.

Interestingly, I die more often now because I am all, "Heck, six of
them? No problem. I can take them." Which I can, but then I don't heal
fully and pull another six and... well, there's blood. mine.

I got a 870 of a World Boss, that helped. And my artifact is 871.
