I'm not sure how you didn't find anything looking for "ears" in Elegy, since I remembered that part quite clearly (it's the captured Forsaken rogue mentioning that):
- - - Updated - - -Dead lips curled back from yellowed teeth. Foul breath struck Delaryn full in the face as he laughed. Her stomach rebelled, but she willed herself not to wince.
“I would have thought they were obvious,” he said. “Were the intelligent ones the first to die? Oh wait, there are no intelligent night elves. A troll got another commander’s ears, you know. He’s wearing them now.”
Thalyssra never said that, it was Valtrois, who is awfully sophisticated even by Nightborne's standards. No surprise that the moltitude of "strong" scents characterizing a jungle would catch the attention of someone who lived for 10.000 years in a bubble of stone and glass.

This is the most fucking ridicolous thing ever.
Are you aware that the Sundering is yet another reason as for why Trolls hate the elves? The shattering of Kalimdor was a devastating blow towards the lingering stability of the already declining Troll empires.
Azshara caused the mess and Malfurion fucking destroyed the world to solve it. All in all, from an outsider's perspective, you have all the reasons in the world to look at Night Elves as a bunch of messy idiots who caused 90% of the Troll's current issues.
To be honest Malfurion's go-to way of "solving things" is to explode them. Well of Eternity is a portal? Begone vile thing, take half of the world with you. Archiemonde is humping the tree? Explode a bajillion Wisps on it and char the summit of Hyjal. From an outside perspective Malfurion is a dangerous lunatic one "solving" away from fucking things beyond recognition.
But found solutions that nobody else could or would. I'd take Malfurions sundered world any day over dead one with all life eradicated by demons.
I would also not call a person and the people who sacrificed themselves to blow up a huge demon that would again destroy the whole world "a dangerous lunatic". I would call the sacrifice very brave and noble, not insane - if seems that no other person, whether, Rastakhan, Sylvanas, Arthas, Alexstrasza, Medivh was able to solve that problem the world's races United again to fight, and still couldn't stop him.

They fought them on their own territories, like pretty much every other race on the planet at the time. The legion was attacking everywhere after all, the night elves were so heavily involved, because the shit happened literally in their core territories and they caused the whole mess to begin with, ultimately they didn't really have a choice not to fight, unless they wanted to be demon stooges or fodder.
