Smelting dark iron isn't taught at the regular mining trainers. It requires a journey in Blackrock Depths and completion of a quest.

Copied from one of those links:
To Turn them into bars you need to take the to the Black Rock Depths :
Speak with Gloom'Rel, who stands on the right side of the room of the seven dwarven spirits. This room is near the end of the instance, and takes quite a while to reach. Gloom'Rel will demand a tribute in order to teach the art of smelting Dark Iron. NOTE: Make sure you speak with Gloom'Rel before speaking with Doom'Rel or any other of the dwarven spirits. Once you start the battle sequence by speaking with Doom'Rel, you can't go back to Gloom'Rel and learn your smelting.
Place the tribute items into the Spectral Chalice that appears next to Gloom'Rel after you speak with him. You may need to speak with Gloom'Rel again after you offer your tribute; I don't recall. You now know how to smelt Dark Iron!
*Tribute Items*
- 2 Star Ruby
- 10 Truesilver Bar
- 20 Gold Bar
Smelt your Dark Iron at the Black Forge. As you exit the room of the seven dwarven spirits, turn right, and you will be facing the bridge to Molten Core. Just prior to the bridge is a path to the left, leading up to a waterfall of lava, in the midst of which is the Black Forge. NOTE: It takes 8 Dark Iron Ore to create 1 Dark Iron Bar, so bring everything you've got!
