The Glittering Phoenix Ember can only be obtained during Cataclysm Timewalking.

Tale of the Phoenix is a turn-in quest given by Tarjin the Blind at 16.16 62.62 on the western coast of The Waking Shores. It rewards the Phoenix Wishwing. /way #2022 16.16 62.62 Tarjin

To complete the turn-in you require 1x Phoenix Ash Talisman, 15x Smoldering Phoenix Ash, and 20x Ash Feather.

Tarjin the Blind will NOT offer the quest until you have the Phoenix Ash Talisman. The turn-in can only be completed once per character.

Spires of Arak is a zone heavily influenced by quest phasing, Zektar becomes visible after the quest The High Ravenspeaker.

1x Phoenix Ash Talisman
Sold by Zektar on the Spires of Arak at 52.09 50.48 for 1x Glittering Phoenix Ember, 10x Sacred Phoenix Ash, and 20x Inert Phoenix Ash. /way #542 52.09 50.48 Zektar
1x Glittering Phoenix Ember
Guaranteed Drop (100%) from the raid boss Alysrazor on Firelands on Timewalking.
10x Sacred Phoenix Ash
Found on Spires of Arak as Small Pile of Ash inside Cookpots. See this comment for coordinates.
20x Inert Phoenix Ash
Uncommon Drop (5%) from Scorching Elemental and Living Blaze on the volcano at the center of Un'Goro Crater.

15x Smoldering Phoenix Ash
Uncommon Drop (5%) from phoenixes around the Dragon Isles, most of them are located on The Waking Shores.

20x Ash Feather
Found on the ground as Ash Feather while using the Ash Feather Amulet sold by Griftah on the Obsidian Throne in The Waking Shores at 25.59 54.33. /way #2022 25.59 54.33 Griftah

Once you have the items you can go to Tarjin the Blind at 16.16 62.62 on The Waking Shores and receive the Phoenix Wishwing.
/way #2022 25.59 54.33 Griftah
/way #542 52.09 50.48 Zektar
/way #2022 16.16 62.62 Tarjin

Completing the turn-in will flag the quest . Which currently appears to prevent you from repeating the turn-in twice with the same character.

Tarjin the Blind gives a quest Tale of the Phoenix which will give Phoenix Wishwing as a reward for several items needed to be collected You will not be able to see the quest until you have collected a few of the items beforehand. I have a step by step video guide on how to get the pet here - https://youtu.be/a_XX5b7P3oY

How to get the pet:

Step 1: Before you start, make sure you have done the Worlds of Draenor campaign quest at least 5/9. You can check from this achievement Between Arak and a Hard Place. You can also confirm this by going to 52,40 in Spires of Arak and check if you can see Zektar. If you can see him, go to step 3. If not, go to step 2.

Step 2: Head over to coordinates 37,18 in the northern part of Spires of Arak and find Azik, who will give you the quest The Shadows of Skettis. Keep doing the quest chain until you are at least five out of nine from the campaign quests, where at that point you will have Anzu give you the quest Cult of the Ravenspeakers. Go through the questline until you get to the quest The High Ravenspeaker, which will take you to visit Zektar and you are now able to purchase items from him. Now that you know you can see Zektar, it’s time to start the grind!

Step 3: To purchase the Phoenix Ash Talisman from Zektar you need one Glittering Phoenix Ember, 20 Inert Phoenix Ash and 10 Sacred Phoenix Ash.
Glittering Phoenix Ember - You can only get this item when the Cataclysm Timewalking is active. Find a raid group for Firelands and defeat Alysrazor, who will drop the Glittering Phoenix Ember for everyone in the raid group. No previous quests are needed to get the item.
Inert Phoenix Ash - This item drops from Scorching Elemental at Fireplume Ridge in the center of Un'Goro Crater. You are going to need 20 of these and unfortunately, the drop rate for this item is pretty low. Ideally you join a group and everyone can loot each other’s mobs. The Scorching Elemental shares its spawns with Living Blaze, so make sure you kill both.
Sacred Phoenix Ash - Head back to Spires of Arak and look around for cookpots around the area, and you will find the Sacred Phoenix Ash inside of the cookpot. These have a respawn timer of between 15 to 30 minutes, so if you don’t really want to be flying around empty cookpots, just sit and wait for the ash to respawn in a cookpot and keep doing this until you have all 10.

Some coordinates for cookpots in the area:
/way #542 37.90 17.92 Small Pile of Ash
/way #542 42.08 15.86 Small Pile of Ash
/way #542 44.00 13.72 Small Pile of Ash
/way #542 44.55 23.34 Small Pile of Ash
/way #542 45.10 15.00 Small Pile of Ash
/way #542 52.06 31.35 Small Pile of Ash
/way #542 52.17 49.97 Small Pile of Ash
/way #542 52.20 49.82 Small Pile of Ash
/way #542 61.90 42.30 Small Pile of Ash
/way #542 68.72 44.49 Small Pile of Ash
/way #542 68.76 44.50 Small Pile of Ash

Step 4: Once you have the above items, head back to Zektar and purchase the Phoenix Ash Talisman. This is just one of the items you need for the pet.

Step 5: Next you need to collect 20 Ash Feather and 15 Smoldering Phoenix Ash from the The Waking Shores.
Ash Feather - To see these items, go to Griftah and purchase Ash Feather Amulet. Using this item will give you a 1 hour buff enabling you to see Ash Feather on the ground close to Lava Hatchling and Lava Phoenix.
Smoldering Phoenix Ash - These drop from Lava Hatchling and Lava Phoenix in the The Waking Shores. Item is a bit of a rare drop so be ready to dedicate some time farming these.
Tip: Purchase the Ash Feather Amulet before you start farming the Smoldering Phoenix Ash and collect the Ash feathers at the same time.

Step 6: Once you finally have all the items, that is, 1 Phoenix Ash Talisman, 15 Smoldering Phoenix Ash and 20 Ash Feather, head over to Tarjin the Blind all over to the west side of the The Waking Shores, coordinates 16,62, where he will have a quest called Tale of the Phoenix, which will give you the pet in exchange for the items you collected.

And gratz! You’ve got yourself the Phoenix Wishwing pet!

He won't give the quest again even after getting a second ember from another Firelands TW lockout on the same character. A lot of wasted time and effort.
