Only reason why Wowpedia is unclear unfaith at this point is people refuse to read between the lines, people will cling to what they want to see until Blizzard says it straight out.

People just get hung up over the whole concept with Faith in the Light any ways.
Real talk, can you name one Bloodknight NPC who has shown to be sadistic in the Light since Fury of Sunwell? There's a reason blizzard has not expanded those ideals.
It is however mentioned not all "Bloodelves" embrace the new Sunwell clinging to the old ways. Which in my head cannon I always took as there being a house divided within the political system. It would be cool to have traditionalist, most likely the Magisters clinging to the old ways of the Arcane, and then have the Blood Knights a young order spear heading the movement to free their people from arcane dependency. It would be cool, because it would add more depth to groups like the reliquary who already have two major goals. To gather artifacts of power, and to find a way to free their people from arcane dependency, what are the two groups that we see in the Reliquary? Bloodknights and Magisters, the two goals working together but with clashing ideals. However, as I said that's just my head cannon.
Bloodelves are like the phoenix, they crash and burn. however from the ashes they are born a new, and sweep those ashes away to ascend to new heights. That's what I like about the bloodelves. People cling to the ashes, cling to what they once were.
Last point I want to make, Chi-Ji took the form of a Bloodelf for a reason during Warcrimes. Each celestial took the form of a race they filled fit them the best, Chi-Ji would not have picked Bloodelves if they did not inspire hope. With that said, as stated above not all embrace the new ways, Bloodelves, not Bloodknights.
