How to activate Elemental Rune Dungeons in Cataclysm Classic, including the new Phase 4 dungeons

Cataclysm Classic Phase 2 is officially live!
Cataclysm Classic continues rolling out Phase 3 with Rage of the Firelands, now live!
In a twist, part of Cataclysm Classic Phase 3 launched early, on September 17, 2024 while the rest of the phase's launch happens over time on October 29 and November 7.
