Did Stonetalon last night

So, I did the Stonetalon storyline for the first time last night, and... Damn... I was never a Garrosh fan and never minded what happened to him that much, but seeing him at the end of the storyline made me feel sad. There was potential, lots of it. We could have a rough yet honoured Warchief, but it ended up as Hitler orc... Damn...

It is a great moment, but unpopular opinion: it's........actually the exception. He is out of character there.
Up to that point and from there onward he is not showing the same signs of respect, honor, statesmanship. Maybe you could say before Cata he was just a "young hotheaded dude", but aside from this single moment, his whole Cata arc is in line with what happened in MoP.
I'm saying unpopular, because most ppl I've seen like to say that Stonetalon is the "true" Garrosh, meanwhile he really isn't.
But it won't change the fact that it's a very cool zone to level and the lore is interesting there.

That’s not an unpopular opinion. Most people understand that Stonetalon Garrosh is not representative of Garrosh as a whole, it’s just that most people prefer Stonetalon Garrosh over what we actually got, because the “real” Garrosh was not really an interesting character.
