I'm curious how the potion supplies made it on to a barbarian fishing merchant in NRO in the first place. Sounds fishy.

It's always been a thing that shaman's had to make long journeys for supplies. I recall on live during the classic era that more then one Barbarian shaman would complain that they had a longer trip for spells and supplies then evil shamans. The actual "Shaman" merchants away from the home cities were not that far away in Everfrost or in the middle of Innothule Swamp. The only outliers being spells on a neutral faction vender in WK at the Barbarian village there and potions supplies at gypsy camps.
