Yeah, that would've made sense, for her to be able to in the blink of an eye determine what areas hadn't been affected by The Sundering and teleport her entire Kingdom to that very location...
Or just no. What happened made far more sense.

Seriously why are people so salty about this? Aside from the fact it’s a fantasy and you’re thinking too hard, there’s plenty of instances in real life where a young prodigy exceeds the ability of those who’ve been studying for years. Mozart was writing symphonies as a child. Does that piss you off as well?
Some things to consider. Firstly teleportation doesn't work like that in Night Elven culture. Occuleth shows us that. Rather than mass teleporting to wherever you want, they use preset portal networks as it's easier and safer. Secondly, the Well of Eternity that's being destroyed in the Sundering was the source of her power. The Highborne didn't learn to use the natural ley lines because they didn't need to-their knowledge of magic was shaped by the Well, and so they had no need of it.
Magic is done in Warcraft not only through personal power, but also knowledge and external sources of power, and she lacked the latter two at that moment.
Challenge Mode : Play WoW like my disability has me play:
You will need two people, Brian MUST use the mouse for movement/looking and John MUST use the keyboard for casting, attacking, healing etc.
Briand and John share the same goal, same intentions - but they can't talk to each other, however they can react to each other's in game activities.
Now see how far Brian and John get in WoW.
she is not that powerful.
now, I best run away from this before I get bombarded by
She is above Archimonde and Kil'jaeden.
She is above Aegwynn.
She is above Mediv.
I'm wondering why someone hasn't incorporated Big Mouth Billy Bass into that animation yet.
at most, she could have teleported them above the surface of the water, though given its a gigant influx of rushing water replacing thousands of miles of land, idk if that would have helped much.
i think mages need precise location data to be able to teleport. after the sundering, the continent as azshara knew it would have been completely changed. so she couldn't just plop down in kalimdor somewhere.
to where exactly?
everything was crumbling and sinking.
Formerly known as Arafal
I'd imagine that it takes to long for her to cast a teleport that TP's her whole city. She had a getter chance trying to stop the waves which unfortunately for her she wasn't able to.
Are there any examples of teleportation in the time period of the sundering? Is it possible that teleportation as a school of magic had not been fleshed out or fully realized yet?
During Legion, we can do the "History of Illidan" - or whatever it's called - quest line and one of them is during the War of the Ancients. Illidan was a mage at this time and his mage friends teleport in out and constantly.
Perhaps just a game mechanic with no lore implications, but I'd imagine a feat of arcane "blinking" was already known back then.
