War of the Shifting Sands was going badly, with C'thun's minions spreading all the way up to Ashenvale, then Fandral got the help of the dragonflights to win. I guess Tyrande sat that one out for some reason?
Then the orcs invaded, and Tyrande's forces lost miserably against them, losing Cenarius, of all things. Can't beat a bunch of flesh and blood orcs, even when you can wave a hand to make the forest of huge trees come to life and crush them all to death?
Then the Legion came in force, and they lost. Then she woke up Malfurion, who convinced her to quit being such a raging racist and work with the Alliance and Horde, and they still lost against the Legion, but lasted long enough to buy Malfurion the time he needed to save the day.
Then Tyrande and Malfurion joined Maiev's hunt for Illidan, and Tyrande stood on what must have been a very decrepit old bridge, shooting at the pursuing Scourge, rather than, say, standing safely on the other side of the bridge and firing at them when they got a little closer, and she fell into the river when it collapsed, then was saved by Illidan.
Then in Wolfheart, she led the army that fought against the invading Horde. She did okay at first, using Elune's light to blind the Horde and dissipate their artificial fog of war Garrosh was using to impede the Alliance, but revealed herself immediately, and Garrosh had everyone target her, and she almost died. So she was about to lose. Then Varian, the worgen, and Malfurion saved the day.
Then in MoP, she was about to charge into the Red Crane Temple, which would have resulted in major Alliance casualties. That was only avoided because Varian is apparently a master tactician while she is not.
