I’m not necessarily saying she didn’t. Given blizzards tendency to change lore on a whim I’m just kinda skeptical of quest dialogue from nearly 15 years ago.
It’s reasonable to be sceptical, but a quote from a Blizzard writer does lend credence to it still being canon
Doubt.
But it might be indeed indicative of the fate of all enemy lands.
Plus, you are seeing stage one of the Forsaken war machine. The second one has the RAS swooping in and cleansing the toxic cloud of acid after it has melted the faces of their enemies. Like they did in Southshore.
Ah yes, thats why forsaken npc yell death to the living everywhere, including some comments about blighting everything

Sylvanas is going to rule over those conquered enemy lands, no. Or is she going to just leave them
You’ll have to give me a source regarding them being able to clear Southshore. AFAIK Southshore is still blighted for quite a while
Oh my. 250? This thing doesn’t go past 250. How are you still standing? You should be a puddle of goo by now. Sylvanas will be most displeased with this information. There might be some things we can do to reduce the lethality levels of the area by a few decades, but that still leaves us out by about a hundred or so years.
And to add on that, the RAS were the one’s replaguing the Western Plaguelands when the Argent Crusade and the Cenarion Circle were trying to heal it.

Faranell declares their intent to do so after freeing himself of Stillwater.
Did they? Don’t recall said quest. Mind pointing it out?
With that they could stand up to Sylvanas mass murdering weapon and put a bit of a leash on her dominance over other Horde races as well.
I don’t think anyone botherd to look into it. The Scarlets in Northrend are all completely IMMUNE.
The Scarlet Onslaught Prisoner is a level 71 human held captive inside a cage by the Forsaken apothecaries at Venomspite in the Dragonblight. He is involved in the quest H [72] Blighted Last Rites. His apparent immunity to the New Plague forces Apothecary Vicky Levine to find an alternative way to prevent the Scarlet Onslaught corpses from being raised by their priests or by the Scourge.
The response from the apothecary that finds this out…
WHAT?! That’s impossible! We’ve perfected the blight. It has a one-hundred percent lethality.
<The apothecary wrings her hands, concern crossing her unliving visage. Clearly frustrated, she continues in an angry tone.>
This is just really odd. Hand me that flask, <class>. I’m not going to be known as the apothecary that ruined everything!
It might have disappeared with the Scarlet Onslaught but if it did it would be the foolishness of the Alliance not supporting them at all. Letting the deathknights and Forsaken murder them all seems to have proven pretty stupid.
And plenty of characters have called her “the enemy of life”, so that kinda involves anyone living really.

The fact that she has been called such by both opposers and rivals, might already point at skewed or biased perspectives.
Even if there is an underlying reason for it, that doesn’t make it a literal truth.
From a meta perspective we know her goal isn’t the hyperbolic aim of eradicating life itself.
And we have factual evidence of her not randomly plaguing and destroying entire conquered zones without a defined purpose for doing so.
And even stuff that has her underlings cleansing whatever mess they caused afterwards.

Oh you are here, cant seem to fi d where you were talking with Wimbert about Tauren working on “cure” for forsaken.
Help me out pwetty elf. 
Do we know her goal?
The Vanilla quests states the exact opposite of that, when forsaken are perfecting the plague.
All of the zones she had to fight, she used Blight as last resort. She keeps failing without it it seems, Gilneas, Lordaeron all her campaign in Northrend, Wrathgate, all the forsaken territory in EK is blighted.
Even in Darkshore there are Blight machines deployed where you destroy them. Sylvanas signiture weapon is her Blight
The best I can find is the following :
To convince the Horde to accept the Forsaken into its alliance, the Undead ambassadors claimed that they merely sought a cure for their degenerative condition, which they said only the powers of shamanism and the life-giving energies of the earth could provide. In exchange for this healing aid, the Forsaken vowed to support the Horde in all of its ventures throughout Lordaeron and Azeroth.
and this quest :

Both from Wowpedia.
It is possible that the Tauren’s were helping on curing the Forsaken, but it has never been shown in game beyond some quests which could imply they have been.

Thats enough to hold on to the idea that Taurens could actually provide the reversing spell, understanding how the plague works and at last be relevant and be able to say “I’m able to help” again. 
There must be a couple of ways to undo the curse. Moridunum is right in saying that Gnomes on their own could probably do it given enough time, they almost turned slime back into Gnomes after-all. Another idea is to use a more powerful curse to override the curse of Undeath then shatter that more powerful curse, assuming you can deal with that more powerful curse easier.
It is hard to say, my personal theory is that the curse of Undeath is a mixture of magic, biological, chemical (basically all the real nasty stuff) and in order to cure it you must be able to cure every aspect of the mixture of the curse.

We know her overarching goal is to remain alive, and to have the ones she considers her people to survive alongside her.
The speculation about her suddenly having a goal suspiciously akin to the one the likes of Scourge would have, sounds like taking at face value what her enemies would think about her.
When from a meta knowledge, so far, we are told her goals are much more “relatable” and specific. Nothing like the sort of ‘Killing the whole planet’ kind of thing.
I mean, she literally envisions and thinks to herself about a future that includes her living allies thriving without pestering her people.
Even if that were true (which isn’t), that would again be about her deploying it when considering it necessary. Not out of random cruelty or because she wants to terraform the place into something “she finds more of her liking”.
The Blight is a means to an end, not the substance the Forsaken live from.
Maybe I missed something, Im not cought up with last two novellas, is it stated there?
Because last time I checked she wanted to kill all the living being s and raise thm as forsaken. And she had no true loyalty to Horde
How?
Yeah when that necessity comes so often its not really a means to end, its a habit. Signiture move.

LORE ERROR Detected.
The blight used at the Wrath Gate was made by the Forsaken, during the Questing experience of DragonBlight.
The Potion made by the Gnome was made from a Blight’s earlier stage and was nowhere near as Potent nor as deadly as the Finished Version.
And was only used as yet Another Excuse from an Alliance Commander to Attack a segment of the Horde Known as the Forsaken.

No, it was a “get them off my back” thing, not because she cares or wants them to thrive.

If she wanted to kill them all, she wouldn’t even think about getting them of her back.
Rather take an excerpt in which she isn’t being influenced and high while holding on a substance that exacerbates the feelings of the one that has it in their hand.
I’d say Anduin doesn’t have a longing to move mountains either.

That is assuming that she could defeat the Horde during that time. If the Horde is objecting to what she is doing then they will get rid of her, she must appease them somehow until she has enough power to not be stopped by anyone.
These are still her thoughts and possibilities on what to do, these don’t suddenly disappear and only come back when touching the Azerite. And she has already been shown to do this what with Teldrassil and Gilneas, several characters have said she is the enemy to life and even Garrosh comparing her to the LK who wanted to wipe out all life and she didn’t deny it.
Using Anduin being able to move mountains as a reason for this to just to be denied is stupid.
Sure, it makes you feel like you have insane feats’, is one of them to affect your thoughts on what you would do after acquiring them feats?
