Malfurion is as centric an Alliance character right now as Thrall is a central Horde character -- that is to say, not much.
To say this trailer in any way focuses more on the Horde than the Alliance is to ignore the overarching story unfolding. It is our goal to push the story forward, and character development is a big part of that -- particularly in the case of Thrall this expansion, who left the Horde behind to try and save the world.
If your main concern with story is ensuring both factions are equally represented in each video, sorry. Besides, your city got jacked in the official Cataclysm cinematic. It's the Horde's turn to watch their greatest city burn. :p
Orgrimmar is a short distance away from Mount Hyjal, which Ragnaros wants to level. Thrall, now an agent of all life on Azeroth, is still the Son of Durotan. Seeing the thriving city he was responsible for shaping get consumed in fire is alarming to him. It's but a taste of what the whole of Azeroth will experience if the Firelord isn't stopped. And Thrall knows it.

If the alliance had any significantly powerful shaman, why aren't them helping Thrall?
He's not talking about a shaman, he means Malfurion. He plays a key role in this, because Ragnaros is kind of trying to burn down Nordrassil, so it's kind of a big deal to the druids.

Then why don't we see them? Why is this whole video of Thrall all doe-eyed at the entrance to Deepholm? The whole Malfurion/Staghelm aspect (which is, the major point of this raid) ignored. Suddenly we see Nordrassil go up in flames in Thralls little dream, but that was about it. Why would letting it be shown as part of the Night Elf story be just TERRIBLE? It's not like the Night Elves have had a whole lot of face time, even with their story being so entwined with Azeroth?
Because you don't NEED to see them! This is a STORY. Do you understand that? It is not "50% Horde/ 50% Alliance" That is just beyond stupid done that way. Thrall's vision fit the story and they went with it. They did not need to have Alliance figures standing around to make it "even". Seriously, get over it.
It's almost like we're trying to build upon something with Thrall here... especially given there's a pretty major questline centered around him in this patch (which relates entirely to the trailer).
Could we have made the trailer entirely about the Guardians of Hyjal and their fight against Ragnaros? Sure. Would it have encompassed the broader story behind patch 4.2 and the Cataclysm expansion as well? Definitely not.

It's nice to see the confirmation of what Cata is about in blue text. It's about Thrall.
Thank you.
Really? You sure aren't helping the cause by boiling everything I say down into a gross misrepresentation. I guess you find that useful when trying to be persuasive...
But thank you as well, in any event, for showing me I shouldn't be spending any more of my time on this topic. You see Checkers where we see Chess.
