Yeah, you raise some good points about successive handwaving leading to a watering down of the original antipathies in WoW. Horde vs Alliance was a selling point back when but grows ever sillier as the threats become cosmic and both sides are forced to unite against Azeroth-threatening calamities, too, to the point that we can now have cross-faction guilds and dungeons/raids.
But, I figure it's a function of time, and as you play through the earlier game and progress to the later, you're also seeing time pass in the game. It may be surprisingly quick for the public to accept warlocks etc. but you could view it as them recognizing your warlock from the stories about your past exploits, and realizing you're not there to sacrifice their children and pets.
I did enjoy the comparison of various types of energies to 'color glows'. ^.^
