And no, lorewise the orcs aren't peace loving flower smellers either, tho they aren't as bad as usual orcs from fantasy.
Garrosh seems not to work as well... somehow. Because Blizzard decided "screw it, let's make him a bad guy and kill him off". As much as I don't see the intentions, I may see the reason. Blizzard does not want any of the faction leaders to be more "warmongerish" than the others. It leads to what they don't want: to making the Ally/Horde choice being the "good/bad" choice. Both sides need equal will for war in order to succeed. There again, why didn't we kill off Varian, since he is the idiot who ignited war once again in Wrath, no idea.
The new leader of the Horde needs to be something in between. Experianced in war, of course, but not bloodthirsty. He also needs the respect to all Horde races, since this is the main flaw in Garrosh. He needs to be more diplomatic, able to talk to people and modest. The only lore choices present are General Nazgrim (love this guy and have no idea why, he is just badass) and Saurfang the Older, but he is too old. And, if Blizzard's invention didn't run out, another, yet unknown orcish persona, created in next patches. Like, one of the soldiers previously "sha-corrupted" by Garrosh, leading a rebellion created of other soldiers, lated joined with Troll and Blood Elve forces to take down Garrosh. Would be nice.
Or, goint the easy way and putting Thrall, sorry Gay'el, back in charge. Regardless of the lack of sense in this one.
