I felt it was quite well explained in the goblin shaman's lore. Making a deal with the elemental rather than calling it for aid.

Shape shifting into mechanical creatures?

Class Skins would be great to make this differentiation better. Name change spells, if need be also the damage type (as they don't matter anymore in retail), but keep mechanics the same.

'Deathspeaker Druid' turning into the same type of animals as Drust druids would be awesome. Undead creatures powered by the necro plants. Akin to The Golgari Swarm from Ravnica (Magic the Gathering). Lorewise this could also make for an interesting dynamic between 3 druid circles who may not always be aligned with one another:
Cenarion Circle: Tauren, Nightelf and Worgen
Drust Circle: Kul Tiran and Forsaken and Worgen (Harvest Druids as a spinoff to Drust?)
Loa Circle: Troll and Zandalar and Worgen (Goldrinn as a Loa?)

Drenei warlock is such a weird idea, using the same power that destroyed their civilisation and their home, its almost like if night elfs could use arcane magic
...wait a minute...
Goblin, undead, void elf druid will never make sense. No, it is not time nor there will ever be.
I see it the opposite, they should roll them back, give us back uniqueness, but it won´t happen. So at least it should remain contained.
None wants a holy priest Orc, it literally makes no sense. I think Blizzard has to stop cathering to players who want instant gratiication, who might stick around a few months and then dissapear. They need to reach back to their true audience.
So all this popular changes should not be welcome. You can´t please everyone, so stick to your true origins.
Neither do Mag'har wield the Light.
Blood elves were also changed by the fel and could still wield the Light.
As for the practice, they can always resume it, just like the Mag'har did.
There's also this NPC:

Grimtotem Tauren already exist.
In The Shattering: Prelude to Cataclysm, there were Grimtotem assassins attacking Thunder Bluff, as well as technicians that set out bombs. There are also a number of Grimtotem mobs that use Ability [Stealth] and other rogue-like abilities, indicating that the infamous tauren rogues can be found amongs their ranks.
Unfortunately, they introduced Monks in MoP. So, Tauren are very flexible now.

But Mag'har and Void elves do?
It's for gameplay reasons, not lore.
Orc Priests would use the Void.
I don't think so.
Coming from a scientific apparoach, they'd be Botanists.
So, i imagine that their animal forms would be very much flesh and blood. Think of it like the Ethereals' biodomes. Some kind of a greenhouse for plant and animal life.
Mechagnomes, on the other hand, would probably be like transformers.

Those are instances of class/race combinations that should not have happened, because it makes no sense. I really don't get how the hex magic used by kul'tirans relates to nature. Gnomes could become religious (AKA believe in the light), so Paladins make sense, but "nature" magic and shapeshifting are different.

Hearthstone is non-canon, and how do we know for a fact that's a Gnome? Could be an edgy kid.
The Mag'har could wield the Light, especially given how much of Yrel and her army have taken control of AU Draenor. It wouldn't be farfetched if some practiced the Light because of her but fled from her zealotry.
Most blood elves that didn't follow Kael'thas only sapped a small amount of Fel Magic from crystals which gave them green eyes, but that's where the connection ends. It isn't in the same ballpark as with the Orcs drinking demon blood itself.
In fact, the ones that became extremely loyal to Kael'thas were infused with demon blood and became Felblood Elves.. and I double-checked every single type of Felblood Elf on WoWpedia... Not a single one of them could use the Light and resorted to using Fel and Demonic variants.
If Felblood Elves can't use the Light, then Green Orcs can't use it either. And even if Orcs could tap into the Void, they'd need a strong will and constitution to withstand it or be driven to madness and turned into Pale Orcs.
I've always envisioned it more like a cyborg then full mechanical but either would be interesting.

Don't confuse "I don't like it" with it doesn't make sense. The lore clearly states that Gilneas had a proto-form of drudism that then got expanded by the friendly Drust (Vrykul) on Kul'tiras. Nature magic is already used by gnomes. Rogues, Hunters, etc all use nature magic. All it takes is for a connection to be created in lore to now allow Druids. Like the Sycthe of Elune did for Gilneas and Drust did for Kul'tiras. We even know the Drust fought gnomes at one point so maybe we find another lost gnome culture that learned the ways of the thornspeakers?

People really want to turn Warcraft into another DnD setting, huh?
The absolute state of Warcraft lore in 2021:
Kyrians: We need to keep chucking people into the Maw because it's our job.
Also Kyrians: Why is the Maw growing stronger despite all our efforts?
Ok, you made me laugh.
These are Lightbound Orcs. None of which joined the Horde alongside the Mag'har.
You're talking about the equivalents of Chaos\Fel Orcs.Most blood elves that didn't follow Kael'thas only sapped a small amount of Fel Magic from crystals which gave them green eyes, but that's where the connection ends. It isn't in the same ballpark as with the Orcs drinking demon blood itself.

Green Orcs are the equivalents of Blood elves because not everyone drank the demon blood (example: Frostwolves). Their skin color comes from exposure to fel magic, just like Blood elves' eyes.
Orcs can already wield the Void. They're called Shadowmoon Orcs. They existed in both universes.
If it was expanded upon like Zandalari and Tauren Paladins wherein they are "paladins" for the purpose of fitting into a class mechanically for the game and are technically entirely separate I could see some kind of Forsaken "druid" as a shapeshifter. Rather than the Drust who aren't really connected to the Forsaken humans of Lordaeron I would like them to have their own forms related to existing aesthetics (Silverpine/Tirisfal fauna). I would love to be an undead turning into a spider instead of a bear etc.
