I’m not going to get into why Ashvane and Derek isn’t really a plan, but a way to Sass your enemy. I already did that in a separate thread so I’ll shoot you the link, so this one goes back to Monkey Business.
As for Teldrassil we aren’t going to agree on that I suppose. You see it as a calculated decision, I see it as throwing out a calculated plan for the sake of sassing one soldier. Don’t give me the whole it was to Kill Hope thing. If that were her real intention, she would have beheaded Malfurion instead of leaving it to Saurfang and paraded his corpse on a ship as they sailed to conquer Teldrassil.
Rest assured what there isn’t much planning behind anything Sylvanas does this expansion. Again here is that other thread Sylvanas and Ashvane - #3 by Tausnor-moon-guard
No she didn’t. I’ve heard this theory, and that’s all it is. She never tells us that she thought the old plan was no longer viable, you’re going off hearsay rather than what was actually established. Especially, because this was before she finds out Malfurion is still alive. So she couldn’t have factored in Malfurion being alive because she made the decision mere moments after she left him to be executed by Saurfang.
I see why you think it wasn’t chaotic now, but that’s not actually what happened.
