On the other hand, from what I've been reading, it seems like Lor'themar's advisers have already been feeding him the notion that he should be Warchief and I'm sure once Sylvanas is freed from her "warden" she'll reveal her true evil-bat-shit-insane colors and will refuse to answer to anyone else. I also bet Org will still be filled with Garrosh's loyalists, even after his death, orcs that wouldn't be satisfied with anyone else as leader.
Garrosh as the leader causes a lot of internal conflict, but I think he's death has the potential to make things REALLY hit the fan! /fingerscrossed
As to the Alliance, assuming Anduin doesn't die, maybe he could replace Varian? Or they could just go back to sharing power equally like the original Alliance they're supposed to be. Varian isn't their leader after all, he's just the military leader, he doesn't get to say how the nelves or dwarves rule their respective kingdoms.
