Ia agree, although I have faith in Blizz. Often they screw up lore and then say OK, I'm gonna make something really fucking good to shutup the haters.
I quit wow due to the rediculous lorelol of TBC, this sums it up nicely:

But OMFG, WoTLK was ACTUALLY good!
So I say have faith...
Though it was better when Tassadar was a martyr for sure.
Edit:
Also yeah, the Blizzard plot devices thing is so true. Litterally 100% of Blizzards Villains have gone from good to evil/corropted/crazy:
Kerrigan, Mensk, Arthas, Sargeras, Illidan, Diablo 2's Wanderer, and in some ways Duran + Show Spoiler +.
There are others too but those are the main ones...
Malygos as well for example. Oh lol and Deathwing.
Oh and APPARENTLY not even the goddamn overmind was really evil.
God I forgot how much thinking about Blizzard storylines piss me off lately. Everything after WC3 has been so lame in turns of story.
But WoTLK was pretty cool in my opinion!

until you do the secret level and Duran finally becomes A REAL character rather than a Kerrigan repeat

well dude along with the WoW analogy, some people say the lore is getting "convoluted" and stuff and to a degree they're probably right but I would say it's simply formula.
Consider that TBC was retarded and made no sense. Consider that WotLK was exactly counter to this, including story elements and characters from 3 separate warcraft books, the meaningful resolution to 4 of the most significant conflicts in warcraft history, and the best art and questing of any expansion. I contend that blizzard effectively had to break out the big guns for the express purpose of making up for tbc, which wasn't that great of an expansion compared to. (although i wish they would stop killing the damn characters off... this is warcraft not adventurecraft)
my point being blizzard typically has a very logical and intelligent response, and I have faith HotS won't be as bad as WoL seemed to be... and at the very least the flow of the story will be a bit clearer.
