    Would Sylvanas side with a puppet of the Sha?
    With Fire and Brimstone I light my path.
    With Pain and Shadow I smite my foes.
    With Demon and Fel I raise my armies.
    I AM WARLOCK, THE END OF YOU ALL.

    Those heroes wouldn't make a good team because of Garrosh.

    this is true in real life diplomacy. you are respectful to the one you speak to, but you dont have to respect them. you are respectful to them based out of position only and why you speak to them in the first place.

    im sure many world leaders do not respect the syrian president, but if any diplomatic actions arise they will be respectful towards him despite his actions.
    And yet, what reason do we have to assume Sylvanis DOESN'T respect Thrall? It seems unlikely that on some level Sylvanis wouldnt acknowledge all that Thrall has done for both the Horde and Azeroth as a whole. Plus, Thrall allowed the forsaken into the Horde in the first place, whereas I'm sure there were many people against it (not sure if this is true, just going off what I barely remember from WC3)

    I don't think Sylvanas is a very likely candidate for a loyalist.

    If the theories of a Legion expansion being next are correct, she'll probably have access to the same information on the Legion that the other leaders do. Fire raining from the sky and Azeroth being unmade is just as bad for the Forsaken as it is for anyone else. She'll probably avoid choosing sides initially, and then side with the rebellion once it becomes clear the rebellion can win and Garrosh is arrogant enough to think he can beat the Alliance, the Horde rebels, and the Legion all at the same time.

    Once the Legion are defeated it's possible the Forsaken are going to have to be dealt with in a meaningful way, but I don't see that being wrapped up in the Siege of Orgrimmar story arc.
    Roleplaying, hardcore Raiding, running LFR on the occasional weekend, PvPing, rolling alts, achievement hunting, pet battling, or just enacting an endless series of whims, I don't care how you play WoW. Just as long as you have fun doing it.

    Sylvanas is likely to side with the rebels, due to the fact that everybody bar the Kor'kron are going to challenge Garrosh after all his deeds.

    As for the Alliance crushing the Horde races after they are "weakened", won't happen. Velen has had a vision of an Army that stands against the Burning Legion, Orcs are a part of that army as are the rest of the Horde races. If you really believe Velen will stand idly by while Varian and his cronies crush the only hope they have at destroying the Legion, you are very wrong.

    Their goals and ethics ultimately conflict in some pretty major ways. She won't see his actions as those that benefited the Horde or Azeroth, she will only see things from her own angle and how his actions benefit her, not the Horde. The Horde is still her a method for her to achieve her goal, while protecting her from harm.

    Thrall was one of the people against the induction of the Forsaken. They were only allowed in by the good word Hamuul and Tauren who wanted to help them of their plight and hopefully cure their Undeath, if it weren't for the Tauren the Forsaken wouldn't have been part of the Horde and to this day Thrall still doesn't wholly trust them or consider them an integral part of the Horde as in his own words they were merely "befriended", this view of them can have only gotten worse since Sylvanas actions in Lordaeron. Sadly this goal of Hamuul's to curse the Forsaken never really got featured much in WoW despite the fact it was the main reason they were inducted.

    Will the Alliance be supporting the rebels in some way? That would tip the scales in their favor a bit I think.

    Sylvannas may not like Thrall, but she doesn't like Garrosh either. In her short story he used her people as cannon fodder, and she has been shown to have no respect or liking for him in Cataclysm. In Tides of War she was concerned that his attack on Theramore would bring retribution her way from the Alliance. As the horde turns against him, Sylvannas has NO reason to help Garrosh stick around, when he increasingly shows he only really cares for the orcs and sees the others as tools. Thrall, while he may not 'like' the Forsaken, is at least less likely to view her people as nothing but fodder.
