This is the most recent method for getting into Hyjal, the area between Felwood and Winterspring that has not yet been opened... The World Tree is located here, along with the Skull and backbones of Archimonde, and yes, the infamous "Blizzard Construction Co." sign!
MAKE SURE YOUR HEARTHSTONE IS ON COOLDOWN/OR YOU ARE WILLING TO DESTROY IT!
Step 1
Start by entering darkwhisper gorge in winterspring. You need to get to the afformentioned pillar that is basically essential to getting into Hyjal. Location of the pillar:

Get to the right side of the pillar. Face the corner where the pillar touches the mountains/hills and keep jumping. You need to get the angle right, and i personally found it ALOT easier to do this in humanoid form rather than cat/travel form/mounted. Eventually, and most likely by a fluke you will get onto the pillar. This does get quicker each time you do it.

Step 2
Toggle walk on. then wall-hug around the pillar till you reach the 1st dent you must jump in.

Jump into it. walk up to the top of it then jump so that you seem to be parallel to the ground. Then get on your mount. It doesnt matter if it is an epic mount or just normal, i did it with normal.

(At this point you still have walk toggled on)Check again that your mount isnt at a funny angle to the ground, if it is then just adjust yourself so that it isnt, and face your mount towards the dent with the tree in.
Now you toggle walk off. this is VERY important. I tried to wallwalk this several times, and tried to jump with walk on and failed. then, when you are happy that you can see the far corner of the dent and are facing it; so a running jump. Don't back up, just jump.
If you do this right, you SHOULD be in that dent. Just run around the tree (i find the right side to be easier) and navigate your way over the plateu's making sure that you dont fall down. You should start to see some greenery over to your right...
Step 3 (Route through the barrier 1)
Now dont go in immideately. But go on till you are past the other side of the cave that can be seen. (IF you did drop down immediately, just keep jumping along the barrier heading towards the hill you dropped from until you get back to the top.

Then you drop down. there are some trees there and you should go just past them before facing the wall.

HERE IS WHERE THE COOLDOWN ON YOUR HEARTHSTONE BECOMES IMPORTANT!
Use the auto unstuck feature when you run into the barrier. It should port you through. If you hit a second barrier, as has occured to me sometimes, just wait 5min for it to be off cooldown then use it once more.

ROUTE PAST THE BARRIER 2!
Having tried some earlier persons suggestions, i did manage to get past without using the Auto-Unstuck feature.
Thanks to Kimonji for the guide ^_^. Now just follow his instructions, they are nice and straightforward.
Now all i can say is: Welcome to Hyjal!

Random stuff
The so called 'jumping board' is approximately half way up hyjal, if you know where the cave is, its the gap in the mountains to the left when you are going up hyjal. You see some broken catapults & stuff and a little area of free space then theres another gap. That has some ruins of a building and it is easy to get to the part that juts out into...well nothingness.
DRUIDS & The Jumping board: If you want to try this jump, and are willing to have a laugh; take all your armor off at this jump (keep your cloak +trinkets/rings/necklace on for that boost in stats) and mount + jump off the 'runway' i suppose you could call it. then get off the mount. and when you are about to land; barkskin + shift to cat form. Each and every time i have done this i have survived, and saved a giant repair bill from using the spirit healer. (Trust me, if you die from that jump and you have noone with you/they cant res/they died you cannot get back up.)
The blizzard barrier: Just follow the path to the end and you will come across a barrier. if you look closely you can see that blizzard left a message :P
The almost never-ending pool: Well, the new well of eternity that is under the World tree, (the pool) actually is REALLY deep. Druids can just use aquatic form to get to the bottom, locks have uneanding breath, undeads have 30% extra time to breathe (Im not sure how long this will last) and thats about it.
I made it to the bottom and just saw some rocks and bubbles...pretty boring. Somehow my priest friend (night elf) managed to make it to the bottom and to the top, while other people/classes couldnt. Makes me curious...
If this doesnt make sense to you, ill be happy to go into more detail on the method. all you need in this one is jumping really though.
Hope this helps you get into Hyjal!
