Varian asked her to pledge the Kirin Tor to the Alliance, she said no, because the Kirin Tor and Dalaran could stand as an example of neutrality prevailing over petty faction rivalries. This was AFTER she already had Theramore destroyed due to Sunreaver betrayal.
She shouldn't be blamed that the Sunreavers would ONCE AGAIN betray her, and use Dalaran portals to aid the Horde in entering Alliance territory. That is treason, and the second time the Sunreavers committed it.
She even gave the Sunreavers the option to leave, but Aethas, despite knowing that he should take full responsibility for the actions of his people, refuses this, so she is forced to imprison SOME. She only kills those that are openly hostile and fight back.
Have you ever read a certain book? It's called Tides of War. Jaina was going down the tragic hero path you are describing, but snapped out of it. She is not going to end up going there again.
Not once has she ever said in MoP her intention is to crush the Horde. Her anger is directed to the orcs, but much more so, Garrosh. Once he is gone, she will lose this hatred, but still maintain a dislike.
People are saying Jaina is going to go villain cause she wants to kill Garrosh, but it's gonna spiral out of control? Guess Varian, Lor, Vol'Jin, Rogers, Tyrande, and every nameless Alliance and even some Horde grunts, are going to end up going insane, just because it can happen.

This is where you are wrong. We have no idea how much Sunreavers were in on this, but seeing as how eager the Silver Covenent was to imprision Sunreavers, we can only assume they would feel the same. So clearly, a lot of Sunreaver/Silver Covenent had strong ties to the Horde/Alliance, but only one group acted out on it.
Now, to use an example as to why the Sunreavers removal is completely justified.
I'm from Canada, so let's say a group of officials representing the Government secretly lend aid to China (let's say were in wartime), and this ends up getting New York City destroyed. Once this comes out, the entire country of Canada will be heavily criticized for this, and would run a serious risk of getting kicked out of a military faction, lets say NATO.
Now if we were to somehow stay in NATO after this, how likely do you think the USA will be to forgive Canada a second time for lending aid to China at the cost of US casualties? Not very, we would quickly become the enemy.
