Once you reach the middle there are 4 different paths with portals. These 4 bosses can be done in any order (after killing each boss return to the center).
Once you have killed all 4 bosses in the portals you can click the Nightmare Iris (green portal in middle) to go to Cenarius.

Kill the trash packs to clear the platforms (you will be using them during fight). Avoid the tornados that move along the webs.

There are a lot of trash packs along the way to this boss, be careful of the birds hiding on the sides.

Once this boss is defeated you can jump into the huge red swirl to take you to the final boss room. You can also speak to Malfurion Stormrage who will offer to send you there too.

There will be trash before this boss, wait in the middle of the room for them to run to you. Once you kill all the trash the final boss will walk in.
