I've always found people complaining about him playing hard and fast with lore is kind of stupid. He doesn't write these things and then give them to blizzard to work into their world. He gets directives from Blizzard, bounces ideas off Metzen, and then writes a book. If you don't like what he does with lore, it's not his fault, at least not entirely.

He's also responsible for a good deal of the lore in the game. The different dragonflights and the aspects that have been such a big part of the WoW storyline was an idea at least partly came from him, and was entirely fleshed out by him. Before Day of the Dragon, Alexstrasza was simply the Queen of the Dragons, and Deathwing was just some douchey dragon.
