Not counting that it would have realistically taken weeks if not months for the Horde to go from the borders of Ashenvale to the shores of Darkshore and with crippling casualties all the way. The whole burning Teldrassil thing was dumb as fuck with catapults which range is dozens of meters at best, somehow being able of hitting a titanic tree on an island, and some ordinary fire projectile being able of setting a titanic tree (with ordinary trees being already much harder to set on fire than it looks like) with rivers and lakes and druids and mages on it.
But then again Knaak made the Night Elves somehow lose in Wolfheart just because of a bunch of Magnataurs, during the same book Tyrande was somehow unable of inflicting more damage with her powers than just blinding her foes with Elune's light, and it took until BFA for Maiev, Malfurion, Jarod and the Highborne and their students to fight for their people.
