There is always the option of not doing that quest? Don't think it
rewards anything much (695 gloves) and all those quests are skippable
as of Legion release (you can just go straight to Broken Isles so long
as one character has done the Broken Shore scenario), so just don't
bother on your alts if you hate it so much!

Not really. It is part of the Legion unlocking. Think of it as akin to
the Dreanor unlock nose-ring quest.

As I said, the first time through it was just annoying. My impression
was definitely that you had to do this whole sequence STARTING with
Broken Shore to continue into Legion.

If I can skip it on all the alts, that would be excellent.

Here's one sequence:

Walk into Kara. Wait for K to appear. He talks. You have to wait until
he's done to click on him. He walks up the stairs to the ballroom. He
walks across the ball room to a force field. You stand there for a while
while he talks. A mechanical "attacks". you hit it a couple of times and
kill it. K walks BACK to the stairs. animates a force field. Then he
walks back to the first force field. He talks some more. You click a
glowing spot on the wall. the force field drops.

He felt that the darkness was full of unimaginable horrors - and the
trouble with unimaginable horrors was that they were only too easy to
imagine...

Only once, so no need to drag every alt through it :-)

The requirement is to do Broken Shore once, and then it's unlocked for
all your characters (possibly faction-specific, I'm not 100% sure on
that one, certainly no need to do it more than twice) - the
Karazhan/Ulduar bit is retired as of August 30th, accessible via an
NPC for those who want to see it, but not part of the overall sequence
that is required in order to access Broken isles. 

Thought I'd find a source for this to make sure I'm remembering right:
http://wow.gamepedia.com/Quest:The_Legion_Returns_(Horde)

"If you have already completed the Broken Shore storyline on a Horde
character, Holgar Stormaxe will offer an option to skip it and
teleport straight to Dalaran in the Broken Isles, with [100] In the
Blink of an Eye ready for turn-in. If you skip it and wish to play
through the Broken Shore storyline on this character later, visit
Archivist Elysiana in the Violet Citadel in Dalaran."

Haven't got a source for the Kara bit being out of it entirely but I'm
sure I read that one as well.
