In one fel swoop, she extremely lowered the population of her enemies, and also caused the ones that survived to lose their immortality, including Malfurion who is basically on deaths door right now.
That immortality was gone for about 15 years now... she did no such thing.
"extremely lowered"... yes, one of the smaller races, which in turn pissed off the remainder of the alliance.

Saurfang knows this, which is why he was opposed to burning it down and yells at her that now "they ALL will come for them".
