Yes indeed, Illidan is really a tragic hero. I was kinda wondering why Malfurion was so angry when Illidan was about to rend Northrend (well Icecrown Crown to be exact) with the skull of gul'dan.
that said, it isn't sure if he wasn't punished for "no good "reason.
basically, to have a digest summary :
-before the war of the ancients, when the kaldorei were evolving, Illidan was already a very knowledge thirsty mage.
-once Azshara begun to go crazy, when she got tainted by the arcane powers and Sargeras offers, Illidan was torn between his love, his brother and his magic thirst.
-Ultimately, Illidan swears allegance to Azshara, and even got a pact with Sargeras. This is the reason why Illidan doesn't have any eye: Sargeras burnt them, and grant him a new vision.
-Illidan finally help his brother, etc.
-At the end of the war of ancients, Illidan made the biggest mistake ever: he kept many vials from the Well of eternity, and created a new one with some vials.
This was the major sin he ever did, and Alextrasza and Nozdormu had to protect it with Nordrassil
it is very digest and not too detailed, but Illidan was really the enemy of world before the events of W3
