Description
I would like to grant you my full array of draconic power, but sadly, it would tear your mortal frame apart. Still, it's not hopeless - I believe I can create a powerful vessel that you can use.
To craft it, I will need the blessings of the four August Celestials in Pandaria. Travel with me to the four temples and we will speak to each. To be worthy of their gifts, you must defeat one of their challenges.
They will not be easy - chose the one challenge best suited to your equipment and skills!
Melee challenge tips:
Completing the quest without having worried about the nasty "mirror phase" is actually possible even without Heroic raiding gear. The mirror phase starts at around 2 minutes after starting the fight so all you have to do is beat the the guy down before that point. Wrathion takes 250% more damage if you attack him from behind so evidently you should maximalize the time you spend behind him.
For Warriors,
Following the tips above you still may find yourself in trouble on beating him in time, especially if your gear is lower that the Normal ToT raid gear level (522). In that case you can use some additional help to boost your dps, such like

Quest cutscene for Yu'lon.
Yu'lon (Ranged DPS):
The key to this fight is to be behind Wrathion whenever possible due to Blindside, interrupt Wrathion's summoning spell when possible, and CC the adds (but not kill unless you have no other choice). So stand close to Wrathion so you can quickly get back behind him while avoiding his frontal AoE. Use an AoE snare, physical stun, immobilization, or fear when the adds spawn -- focusing down Wrathion is the most important task.
When Wrathion brings out his mirrors, do not waste time trying to find the true version. Instead, you can run out to end of the balcony and avoid the painful AoE. CC the adds as needed, but also use this opportunity to bandage yourself. After a good while, Wrathion will finally come back into the picture. If you've been diligent with keeping the buff up, he should be low on health at this point. Rinse and repeat as needed.

I've only done the healing challenge. Basically:
Wrathion will tank Deathwing most of the time, but has a debuff where he takes extra damage (because dude, daddy issue).
Healers will get a buff where your damage spells get a multiplier depending on how much healing you've done in a certain period. Using a damage spell will reset the buff and start the process over. You will have to judge when to do damage because you want to try to save your hardest hitter for Deathwing. The reason being is that there are adds in the fight too, which can be briefly ignored but do not want to get behind on.
Then there is the intermission, where stuff will get flung at Wrathion in a linear line from four different points at different times. You will need to intercept as many as possible (I couldn't get 100%), otherwise Wrathion will get hit fairly hard - and you'd rather not want to use your fast and expensive heal a lot during what's supposed to be a bit of a breather.
