Deathwing was already beaten down...Azshara probably could be, but what kept her from acting all this time as it stood?
Any "he was there all along, nobody knew about him at all" would be a bigger lore atrocity than offing Illidan. If they are SO GODDAMMED POWERFUL, why do they act NOW? Why couldn't they have done it RIGHT after everyone was recovering from the Legion or whatnot?
"Bob the destroyer" characters as I like to deem them don't come from dark depths, the void, the twisting nether, or what have you...they come from one place and that is a random plot hole.
