This would create a situation where the Horde is allowed to respond to Teld; recognize that the Alliance is justified in wanting revenge; but not being in a position to just let them slaughter all their people.

You mean something like …

“There may be blood on the Horde’s hands, but there is no purpose in washing them until the Alliance is shattered.”

Gotta say, though, the “entrapment angle” doesn’t really improve the experience at all as far as I’m concerned. And I’m also willing to bet you’ve given it a lot more thought than the writers did.
