     Look for somebody to group with to do the group quest while you proceed to The Avalanche. He's inside the bottom of the Lifeblood Pillar.
     
     

   Fly northeast to The Avalanche. Use the Omega Rune to take control of The Etymidian. Start heading up the slope. All the abilities are very relevant, so read up on them first and try them out while killing the lesser undead..
   
   Ability 1: Colossal Strike - A frontal cleaving attack which should be constantly spammed.
   Ability 2: Cataclysm - A large AoE around you which does a lot of damage and instantly kills the lesser undead.
   Ability 3: Reconstruction - A self-heal to full.
   Ability 4: Titanic Surge - Evocation -- regains all your mana as its charging, but you take extra damage while "Evocating."
   Ability 5: Maker's Sanctuary - A self-divine intervention. Takes you out of combat and makes you immune. This is the ability to use when you're about to die and have no outs.
   

4. Kill Bythius the Flesh-Shaper. This one is fairly simple, just spam Colossal Strike and Cataclysm. Use Reconstruction when you're low on health.
   
   
5. Kill Urgreth of the Thousand Tombs - Keep a lookout for Urgeth's emote, Urgeth begins to emanate a powerful dark energy! When he does, run away since you will instantly die if you're near him. Take the opportunity to Reconstruction and Titanic Surge while he's running back to you. As usual, spam Colossal Strike and Cataclysm.
   
   
6. Kill Hailscorn - Just spam Colossal Strike, and save Cataclysm for when Hailscorn emotes: Hailscorn calls forth an army of frozen corpses. Cataclysm to kill all the adds he spawns. Rinse and repeat.
   
   
7. Once you've finished killing 200 Lesser Undead, fly southwest to Freya and turn in Reclamation.

If you can find a partner to go kill Artruis, then go for it - otherwise, Hearth to Dalaran.

1. (Group) A Hero's Burden Quest: Fly to The Lifeblood Pillar and enter the lower entrance. Kill Artruis the Heartless - at 30%, he becomes immune to attack and you then must kill either the Gorloc or Wolvar. Whoever you don't kill you become friendly with their faction, and whoever you kill you become enemies of that faction. Don't worry too much about this decision, since you can change factions at any time from the same daily.
   
   Complete the quest at Artruis's Phylactery as well as the follow-up quest to either the Gorloc or Wolvar.
   
   Then, Hearth to Dalaran.
