Right NPC killing is more not meant to be all canon but meant to have "fun factor" in there (just like it seems how Horde can kill the Alliance prisoners). Alliance deserve a lot more "fun factor" NPC's to butcher than Horde do (have them run in fear too, for fun).
The infrastructure leveled should be canon (not all of Org, but definitely a portion of it) and can have the added benefit of being a little more permanent, maybe have it last another expansion (or two, or three).
Which is hliarious because Warcraft 3 lets you kill kids out of canon. Of course I think that might have been before political correctness idiots took over.
Astral Recall back. He is there and (just like in Maelstrom) right before you engage Garrosh he will Astral Recall out instead of helping so you can do all the actual work, then I guess like in Maelstrom he'll come back and be the "savior of Azeroth" at the end even though he did fuck all of anything the whole fight (except maybe drop your raid members).

Those people who are "helping us kill him" are only doing so due to the fact that their once loyal support of Garrosh backfired; leaving them on the losing side, which is where they don't want to be. You are of course correct; SoO is a fight against Garrosh, not the Horde, which is why it actually pisses me off that it's not being presented as a Horde vs Alliance-thing. Why does it do that? Because for the entirety of Cataclysm and a portion of WOTLK/MoP, the Horde victories are actually victories against the Alliance. Not just "some bad parts of the Alliance", but the actual Alliance. Theramore/Gilneas/Hillsbrad and so on.
Yet in MoP/SoO? Our so-called "fist-pumping moment"? It's not against the 'Horde' at all, even though their victories were against us. Rather, it's just 'Big bad Garrosh and his mean, zealous followers." SoO is the Horde's greatest scapegoat; all of their past sins (from both before/during and after Cataclysm) are dumped onto him and the Kor'kron, and thus far the Alliance has nothing to show for aiding the Rebels/Turn-Coats. Even when the Horde is at its weakest, the Alliance is pointlessly 'moral' and 'principled', which stinks of bad and Horde-biased writing; just like most of the WoW writing in general at the hands of Metzen et al.
Hey, finding slaves for cheap isn't easy, ya know.

Shortly after the arrival of the 7th fleet, Jaina had insisted that one ship, the Starsword, be dispatched to bear the civilians of the city who wished to leave to safety. All of the children went aboard, and many of their families. Others chose to stay. It was their home; they loved it as Jaina did and wanted to defend it.
