Its difficult to see how things pan out.

Tuarajo was razed because it was identified as a post where the Horde trained warriors, hunters, etc. That assessemnt is probably correct and givent he state of war at the time, it does seem a legitimate target. Nor was the Alliance entirely out for slaughter....the General in charge deliberately left the civilians a way out; those who remained and fought were armed combatants.

More problematic is the timing. On one hand we have a Tauren who states the battles took place before the Cataclysm. On the other, we have information that the road was needed to reinforce Stonetalon...a battle that didn't start until Garrosh decided to claim all of Kalimdor and it resources for the Horde after he became warchief. The Shattering complicates matters as it seems to show that the events of the cataclysm occurred mere days after Thrall stepped down, days after Baine bid Jaina and Anduin farewall and yet no conflict is seen in the Barrens.
