Level 71+ TourGuide Northrend guides are buggy/unusable

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Load the Alliance Dragonblight guide ("71_73_Dragonblight.lua")
2. Do quests starting from the first one in listed in Dragonblight. Then
turn in (after doing the first ones) "Understanding the Scourge War Machine
|QID|12281|".  

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected, the next Dragonblight quest to show up. Instead, the TourGuide
bar  shows a red skull with the text "No quests loaded". 

In the TourGuide "Guides" section in its Addons area, Dragonblight shows up
as "100%", despite the fact that not all of the quests for the area are
done. 73_74_Grizzly_Hills.lua, 74_75_ZulDrak.lua & 76_77_Sholazar_Basin.lua
all also show up as "100%", despite the fact none of the quests in those
areas have been completed.

Prior quest series in BC & earlier areas show up/work properly.

What version of the addon are you using?  Where did you download from?
tekkub-tourguide-244afba97a995fb8eb81398c6786688b661f7ccd.tar.gz from
http://github.com/tekkub/tourguide/tree/master

What version of WoW are you using?
Patch: 3.0.3.9183 live (WotLK installed)
Locale: USEng

Please provide any additional information below.
Seems all the Northrend Alliance guides besides 70_71_Borean_Tundra.lua &
70_71_Howling_Fjord.lua have serious problems. Those two work fine.

Made extensive modifications to 71_73_Dragonblight.lua to try and fix the
issues. First off, on all the buggy Northrend modules, seems the "end)" tag
is placed near the top or at the top of all the buggy ones. "end)" is
located right after the DragonBlight "Understanding the Scourge War Machine
|QID|12281|" quest, which is why the other quests for that area do not load
& it shows up in its listing as "100%" once you have finished the first
quests. For the other three higher level buggy guides, "end)" is right at
the top of the file, explaining why they show up as 100% in the listings.

So, first step was to move that tag down to the end of the file as is done
with all other earlier, working guides. Do so, then this error at logon:

TourGuide-Alpha\\TourGuide.lua:223: bad argument #1 to 'select' (index out
of range)\nTourGuide-Alpha\\TourGuide.lua:223: in function
`ColorGradient'\nTourGuide-Alpha\\GuideList.lua:98: in function
`UpdateGuidesPanel'\nTourGuide-Alpha\\TourGuide.lua:111: in function
`LoadNextGuide'\nTourGuide-Alpha\\Broker.lua:72: in function
`UpdateStatusFrame'\nTourGuide-Alpha\\GuideList.lua:29: in function
<Interface\\AddOns\\TourGuide\\GuideList.lua:17>

So then go into 71_73_Dragonblight.lua & remove the "--[[" & "]]" tags
which are placed improperly all through the file. Every other working BC &
prior guide just has those at the beginning & end of their files.

Error at logon after doing that:

TourGuide-Alpha\\Parser.lua:54: Unknown action: - |QID|12545.1|
|QO|Jintha'kalar Scourge Slain: 15/15| |N|Dragonblight, Jintha'kalar
(88.27, 19.71)|\nFriendsWithBenefits-Alpha\\Dongle.lua:1197: in function
<Interface\\AddOns\\FriendsWithBenefits\\Dongle.lua:1184>\n<in C code>: in
function `pcall'\nFriendsWithBenefits-Alpha\\Dongle.lua:247: in function
<Interface\\AddOns\\FriendsWithBenefits\\Dongle.lua:246>\nFriendsWithBenefits-Al

function `LoadAddOn'\nAddonLoader-2.0\\Conditions.lua:91: in function
<Interface\\AddOns\\AddonLoader\\Conditions.lua:84>

So then head into Vim and script-delete all the lines starting with "-
|QID|" (no lines in the working BC & prior guides start with that string).

Log back on and yay! No errors and the guide loads. But...problems. The
directions for all the quests listed are pretty much useless (the ones
after Understanding the Scourge War Machine |QID|12281|). They all have
where you pickup and turn in the quests as the coordinates only. No
coordinates pointing where to do the quests or information on how to do the
quests as is normally expected. As well, all the "U" (Use) strings that
show up provide no data in the TourGuide bar. A backpack icon shows up and
that's it.

So guess its back to the buggy, bloated (but working) QuestHelper mod past
Borean Tundra and Howling Fjord until this is updated. 

I'm not the world's most skilled power-leveller. Even so, would (properly
formatted) TourGuide_recorder logs for quests I do (randomly) in
Dragonblight & on sent in to you be of any help?
