OK, so i managed to solve my problem although the solution came quite unexpected.
Somehow teleporting to Ul'dah threw me into the appropriate cutscene for this quest.
It makes some sense since the quest ends there.
Funnily enough i was actually teleporting there as my low level pugilist to get my class quest, so it was quite funny seeing me in that cut scene as a low level class.
Anyway, problem solved and i can finally go on.
Thanks again for the replies!
