Dalaran, as we all know by now, is Wrath's equivalent of Shattrath. It's a neutral city with portals back to every other major city (each faction's four capitals plus Shattrath), it has profession trainers and a bank (but no class trainers besides Mage and no auction house), and we'll probably be spending a lot of time in it once we all hit 80. It floats above Crystalsong Forest in central Northrend. But how do you get there?Mages can teleport (http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=53140) there at level 71, and give portals (http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=53142) there at 74. So that's one option. Similarly, you can get a Warlock to summon you, if they can find players around to help. Players also get quests to go there legitimately and get attuned to use the crystal that teleports you up and down at level 74, but who wants to wait that long?
Enter the Battleground summon. This is how I and almost everyone I know got to Dalaran the first time, and it goes like this:
Find someone in Dalaran ("/who Dalaran" is helpful for this) and ask politely if they are willing to group with you and queue the group for a battleground.
When you get into the battleground, /afk out.
Poof! You're in Dalaran.
This works at any level, for any character. Once there you can set your hearthstone at any of several inns for quick return, and there is a flight point at Krasus' Landing - if you grab a few flight points in Dragonblight for connections, you should then be able to fly to Dalaran from most flight points in Northrend.
