Zul'Farrak — talk to the goblin before you free the sergeant
The stair event is the most famous wipe in the dungeon, and one conversation in the wrong order is what turns it into one. Plus the two-zone errand you have to finish in the Hinterlands before Gahz'rilla exists at all.

Weegli first, Bly second — in that order
The single most useful sentence about this dungeon:
"Before talking to Bly to start the fight, make sure to talk to Weegli Blastfuse to have him set the charges for the door."
Freeing Sergeant Bly starts the fight. Everything you wanted to arrange has to be arranged before that, and Weegli is the one who blows open the door to the Sandfury leader. Talk to Bly first and you have begun the hardest event in the dungeon without the thing you came for.
The event itself is the dungeon's reputation: "Shadowpriest Sezz'ziz and Nekrum Gutchewer together are the final wave of the classic zerg, or stair event, started by releasing Seargent Bly and his companions from their execution cages."
A wave fight with a trigger is a group problem, not a reference problem. Somebody has to be the one who talks to Bly, and everybody has to be ready when they do. Decide who before you walk up the steps.

Gahz'rilla does not exist until somebody does an errand in the Hinterlands
"The Mallet of Zul'furrak must be used on the gong to ring it and call forth Gahz'rilla." No mallet, no boss — he is not part of a normal clear.
And the mallet is not in this dungeon. It starts with the Sacred Mallet from Qiaga the Keeper, in the Hinterlands, and is finished at an altar there.
So this is two zones and two evenings unless you plan it as one. The Hinterlands leg is the part people put off, then forget, then remember at the gong with four other people standing around.
The wiki will tell you this was removed. Its attunement page notes the mallet "is no longer required to summon Gahz'rilla" — that is retail, from patch 3.0.8, years after the content Forever is built on. The same retail-tense trap the attunements page warns about at length.

What this page deliberately leaves out
Boss abilities, loot and the full quest list. Wowhead's, and linked from every activity page here.
Exact coordinates for the Hinterlands legs. The guides give them; we have not reproduced them, because a coordinate copied without checking is the kind of fact that is wrong quietly. Follow the source link — it is one click and it is maintained by people who play it.
Recommended levels from Classic guides, which differ from the Forever figure our registry carries. One number per page, with its source, rather than two and a shrug.
