I have 3 char with mining and every now and then i run into some dark iron ore but I can't seem to find the recipe or training for smelting it. Where do I go or what do I have to do, plz can some one help me?

A simple search for "Smelt Dark Iron" followed by reading the comments led me to
this quest.
Keep in mind, you can only smelt it in Blackrock Depths.

Ahh, that quest - I remember it fondly. I strongly suggest taking the quest mats (as linked in the above post) before going down there :D.
Heh yeah, not to mention make sure you talk to the correct dwarf for the quest before you start the event or you'll have to kill all the dwarves and then go out and reset the instance and do it again.

Yep.
And forget making anything out of dark iron ore, unless you want to go on a trip to BRD.
Someone once asked me to make them a dark iron item, and offered me an oh-so-generous 4g tip.
I laughed at them and told them in the time it takes to get to BRD, get inside and all the way to the forge, I could make a hundred gold from dailies, and he could forget it.
It's not like dark iron items are super elite either, anything you make would be replaced in a level or two. Not really worth the hassle, to me.
I can see some of those items gaining popularity again with the 3.2 patch giving you the ability to turn off XP and having some masochistic folks trying to do MC and BWL with actual level 60 toons again, but I do feel your pain and if someone offered me that low of a tip for dark iron items I'd probably laugh at them as well and tell them to add a 0 or two to that tip and I'd think about it.

See other posts for learn to smelt, just want to mention that the forge is just after the room with the 7 dwarfs. Turn to your right when you leave the room in the direction of the lava. The forge is guarded by a lvl 55(?) elite fire elemental.
The anvil is in the room with the fire elemental 'boss', Lord incendius.
It takes 8 dark iron ore to smelt it into one bar.

to get to the quest you need to go through the grim guzzler (no lava hopping) then continue into the dungeon till you reach the 7 dwarfs room, DO NOT START THE EVENT, upon walking into the 7 dwarfs room tlk to the 2nd dwarf to your right, he'll lay a transparent cauldron by him, talk to it it start the quest. BE SURE TO BRING ALL THE MATS WITH YOU IN THIS RUN. ta da you can now smelt dark iron ore, if you ever drop mining then decide to pick it up again you'll still know this recipe.
quest.
