Sorry Matt, you might have to point me in a different direction here, but my understanding was that the orc tribes all drank the demonic blood, then became super-steroid powerful.

Here is my source:

http://www.wowpedia.org/Orcs#The_Rise_of_the_Horde
http://www.wowpedia.org/Mannoroth#Mannoroth_and_the_orcs

"With the help of Gul'dan, the Blood of Mannoroth was drunk by the chieftains of the clans, with the exception of Durotan of the Frostwolf. They were engulfed by a demonic bloodlust that wiped out the draenei and damned the orcs forever."

Now granted, I never read the novels, but I might need more specifics, because I have a really hard time believing the orcs could cause that much damage to the dranaei without that power boost. The quoted text makes it seem like the orcs drank the blood before going to war against the dranaei, I'd like a clarification if this is incorrect.
