Azeroth is the jail of the Old Gods. And what do you do when you're stuck in jail? Try and break out. What do you do if you're stuck and jail and you just so happen to be a neurotic anarchist? You blow the jail up.

Basically, instead of trying to find where the Titans put the damn key, the Old Gods decided to just blow up the door, A.K.A, the entire planet. Simple plan, really.

As for Sargeras... I don't know. I seem to remember the Old Gods actually going directly against him once, back at the Sundering. I think the only reason the Old Gods have to like Sargeras is the fact that he wants to blow up the door/Azeroth just as much as they do.

Plus, what do you do if you're a chaos-loving, Lovecraftian horror and you meet someone like you? Kill them and laugh like crazy.

Frankly, I have serious doubts if the Old Gods have ever worked with eachother, which makes the idea of them teaming up with Sargeras a bit far-fetched. Awesome, yes (Sargeras and the Death-Squid v.s. Everybody Else), but unlikely.
