You've inadvertedly pointed out the main problem of the Horde as far as writing is concerned and that is that the writers keep hewing back to a 17-year old portrayal that had a shelf life of two years before it was ended with the introduction of the Forsaken and the orcish resource issue being alluded to in Vanilla. The belief that Thrall, noblesavagery and the two bonus Kalimdor races are treated as somehow indivisible and equally as important as the actual main race, the orcs, is why we keep going back here. The Horde has historically been a proactive, aggressive force for the vast majority of its existence, but the latter parts of that existence have been in shoddy morality plays that mean to tell you that it's wrong for the Horde to be this, yet fill in its void with nothing.
That's why the Horde does nothing in neutral expansions like Legion, or spends its time massacring its entire pre-WC3 cast like in WoD, because the writers keep pushing the square peg that is the Horde's existence in WC3 into the round hole that is a Horde that can no longer sustain that portrayal across its races. Forsaken simply don't fit, they don't now and they won't after Calia either as at that point they'll be functionally an Alliance race as a chivalric human nation dealing with the consequences of a destructive war that altered its people. Ditto the blood elves and nightborne that have nothing thematically in Common with either the current Forsaken/goblins or the Thrall-style Kalimdor Horde that will be the default after this one, at least until they try Mists 3.0.
