The first quest in The Well of Eternity is called: In Unending Numbers.
I'm supposed to disable three items called "Portal Energy Focus," by clicking on them after I kill the mobs which stand next to them.
The bug I'm experiencing is this: I kill the demons, click on the "Portal Energy Focus," and receive the message "Item is locked." The cogwheel icon remains dark grey, I'm unable to interact with the object. There is no key, or spell, or item required as a prerequisite to use the "Portal Energy Focus."
May I receive help? I cannot progress within the instance at all, nor even attempt it.
Thank you for your time.

You have to have illidan with you and he has to tell you to click on it before you can click on it. If it's not working it's probably because you ran too far ahead of Illidan. Go find him and do what he tells you when he tells you and it should work OK.
This thread is the number one result in a Google search for this issue. The exact same thing is happening to me today in 2018, and it's definitely not from leaving Illidan behind.
Illidan stops, talks for a moment, then fades away and reappears in the middle of the courtyard, right in front of both the boss and a guardian demon. The third crystal is locked and not clickable. Approaching Illidan while he's near the guardian demon means immediate death. Resetting the instance, dying, zoning out and in, no effect.
Has anyone found a way to bypass this glitch?

Had same problem today. Tried all of above, as well as bringing a different toon, all with no sucess. Submitted in-game bug report as well. This is a relatively new problem as April 2017 was able to complete dungeon successfuly (got achievement that day).
I'm having the same issue
I got past it by burning down the boss in the middle of the wave of demons...but otherwise it was bugged for me too.
Im having the same issue, cant find any way to bypass it either
I was just able to bypass that glitch on the first boss for Well of Eternity.
I got to the same point of Ilidan dissappearing but this time did not appear anywhere. Enemy wise, There was one row of marching demons in the middle of the first boss area and one demon bat with the first boss. I walked up to the first boss in order to possible kill it quickly but did not hit him before the demon bat killed me first. I respawned in the beginning of the instance and was on the side with the demon bat. It had no buff and was able to take damage. I did about 125k damage for a one hit OK. Then I presumed to aoe and quickly kill the first boss.
Basically: have the demon bat kill u first then killed it from behind with ur strongest attack then finish off boss. Dont hit the first boss or you will be taking aoe damage from his fire every time u respawn -> restart the instance.
I will be trying this method again on another character to see if it truly works.

Discovered this bug today. Upon finding the last portal locked, I ran back to the courtyard to find the boss, Peroth'arn standing amid the endless walking stream of demons. I shot at him, and he died. The stream of demons ended and the remaining ones made their way to the portal and I was able to carry on with the instance.
So it seems the boss does indeed spawn even though the final portal is not clickable. Killing him will clear the courtyard and you can continue with the instance.
Good luck!

I am stuck today 03/13/2018. Attacked the Boss in center cuz that's where Illidan was standing. Died, like everyone else. Now I am dying as I use the portal to return to Illidan. Unfortunately, I cannot destroy the 3rd gate before dying again. Am interrupted by something I cannot identify. Then I die again. Repeat. Tried to build health enough to destroy the gate--Illidan in no help at all. Shadowcloak not working. Left instance. Returned. Continue the circle. Sigh. Why is this still an issue.
Same. Can't get the third one, and get fried if I try to get to the boss.
same
Me too. Frustrating because everything else in here was easy, and this is supposed to be a lower level instance.
Just ran into this same problem, but found that if I was very careful about my distance, I could pull him out of the stream of demons with a ranged weapon and kill him in the cleared-out area...after which, as others have noted, the majority of the demons leave and there's a clear path into the castle. Took a couple of insta-deaths to work it out though.
Stand back and use a ranged ability on Peroth'Arn. He will aggro without triggering the guardians. Then kill as usual. Killing him this way progresses the quest and skips the third portal.
Just did this.... Tried Every 'in game' method... Go out of the instance, right click your toon, click reset all instances. Go back in.... Be patient....
You MUST stay with ill within inches and click him to chat often (white talk bubble in his character pane) and only do actions when HE calls for you to (in his bubble, or in chat if you have bubble turned off) Then you will get through successfully.... after about ten mins, no pulling the whole instance on this one guys....
Good Luck

As others have said. When Ilidan freezes up on the second one just kill the guardian demons then go to the third crystal and kill those mobs as well. Illidan will magically spawn back in front of second set of crystals and do things normally from there on out.
Still occurring even to this day (August 30th, 2018).
September 6th, still bugged.
September 27th, just happened as well.
