What would you have done in Jaina's place?

But since she was already pushed this way why not to use it to escalate it even more and make her follow her father footsteps.

Why not? Well, Benedikt said it better than I ever could:

Seriously the fact the story made Jania want to genocide Orcs like her father is stomach churning levels of vile.

What in the airborne fornication was wrong about a story how letting go of intergenerational prejudice, even at severe personal cost, was the only way forward for a better world?

With today’s IRL problems in mind I’m speechless Blizz managed to retroactively screw up a story point as utterly simple as ‘bigotry is bad’.

I agree with everything he said.

But if she didn’t participate in Cataclysm Theramore would become irrelevant and nothing in Barrens would happen.

I think they could have found creative ways to involve Theramore without making Jaina go Super Alliance Patriot. The simplest would be for her to appoint someone else to take over day-to-day rulership of Theramore because she’s busy with her duties in Dalaran, and have that person agree to Varian’s invasion plan.
