Thrall's Return as Warchief

So in San Diego ComicCon 2011, Chris Metzen suggested Thrall would be making a return to Warchief. In one of the recent Press Tour interviews, J. Allen Brack directly stated Thrall would be Warchief again.

Is anybody else as tired of Thrall as a primary character as I am? I was hoping he would be more like Tirion Fordring - a major player for an entire expansion and then kind of taking a backseat afterwards, especially with Aggra and a newborn in the picture.

The situation with Garrosh feels like the best time to introduce or build up an Orc character that really deserves it (my personal favorite is Zaela from the Dragonmaw Clan). It's just a bit disappointing that it's being used to refocus on someone who has already had quite a bit of focus.

I'm sure there are those who agree with you, but there are definitely many others who would love to see Thrall re-instated instead. Combing the various threads on the subject, I've seen everyone from Vol'jin to Jaina Proudmoore(!?) brought up in this context. Not to mention one particularly combustible candidate...

So, just for fun: Who would be the leader of the Horde, if it were your call?

You forgot [Basic Campfire].

Nay, sir, I did not.
