The problem with this new lore that illidan wasn't really a bad guy, is the dialogue and what we know of at the time. The Naaru even led the assault on his black temple. His forces attacked Shattrath, enslaved the broken, allied with demons, enslaved dragons and was harnessing the souls of the Black Temple. And to top it off, when we first meet the guy, he doesnt say "You fools are ruining everything" he basically bad guy monologues and we kill him. His downfall, his lack of communication played huge part.
