It doesn't surprise me either, as the Blizzard story team has been super inconsistent over the past few years.
EDIT: just saw this on WoWpedia: "Sargeras created it (the Burning Legion) with the purpose of destroying all world-souls in the universe in order to prevent the void lords from corrupting them, which would lead to the birth of a Dark Titan, a being of unspeakable evil that would utterly annihilate and consume the universe". It only proves that I'm right about the shitty writing on Blizzard's part.
