Humans fail, make mistakes or even die and they just shrug it off, rise again and keep on marching.
The Forsaken and Worgen are also just Humans, with certain aspects of their Human nature emphasized. There is a reason why most Forsaken are actually humans, the Lore explains that Humans have the strongest will to live among the races of Azeroth, thus it is easier for them to come back into undeath and to even accept their condition then it is for other races. Same with the Worgen, Worgen are just humans who came closer to their repressed savagery, the one we can witness in the Vrykul in Northrend.
I know a lot of players just don't like the Humans or their lore, but regardless, I think the Alliance should always be lead by the Humans. Not to mention they put up most of fighting and dying. So it is logical they have the last word when it comes to decision making.
If something was to happen to Varian before Anduin is ready to rule, the Alliance can be lead by Jaina as leader of the Kirin Tor and regent of Stormwind. But to be honest, as young as Anduin might be, he is already fairly fit to rule.
P.S. And yes the Dwarves should play a major role in the Alliance, and while I do like Muradin, I actually prefer the new Moira. She seems to be more politically savvy.
