It looks like Yalnu is on a cliff above the tower in the mage quarter of stormwind.

This dungeon fight is probably my favorite in WoD so far. The scenery, the music and the boss itself combines to create a truly epic encounter.

This fight is probably one of the hardest WoD 5-man bosses. It can get pretty chaotic very quickly and dealing with the adds fast is imperative to keep from being overrun.
Yalnu's most dangerous ability is Genesis. He will channel and cause flowers to bloom across the arena. Players need to run over them to step on them, otherwise Yalnu will finish casting and cause a bunch of Feral Lashers to rise up for every flower remaining.
Aside from the lashers, the boss will also cause adds to spawn at regular intervals. Vicious Mandragoras (the plant hydras) have a breath attack, the tank should keep them pointed away from the rest of the party. The Gnarled Ancient (huge walking tree) uses lumbering swipe, get away from it's front to dodge it. Swift Sproutlings (tiny plant people) can easily be aoe'd down, but have a movement-slowing debuff if they hit you, which can be annoying when you're trying to step on the Genesis flowers.
He can summon Entangling Roots, which can stun either a player or an npc mage. Attack the roots to free them. You have the option to ignore the entangled mages, but they do help with aoe'ing the adds, so free them at your leisure. Lastly, Yalnu has a powerful Colossal Blow ability which strikes the ground in a cone in front of him. Simply move to the side or through him to dodge it.

TL:DR - Stay away from the boss' Colossal Blow, step on his flowers, kill the adds and free your buddies from the vines.

This seriously awards MoP rep? Is that a bug?

There is a way to get to Yalnu and skip all bosses except for Archmage Sol.

This works for both regular Everbloom as well as Heroic.

When entering, go to the right instead of left as if you were going for Witherbark. On the left side of the path, there is a hut. Kill everything in front of and in it. Go out the back of the hut, and go to the left. There is a way up the cliff that spills you out onto the Kirin Tor section of the Everbloom. Kill Archmage Sol, and the gate will open to Yalnu.

This is also a great way to bypass a lot of trash even if you want to kill all the bosses. Just drop down to the path on the right side of the cliff if you want the ancient protectors. and Xeri'Tac after killing Witherbark.
