The lore isn't that screwed up, as many have said.
Nelf used arcane magic before, so it isn't that weird that they now will be mages.
Yes, dwarfs has a whole compartment, the earthen, that is somewhat shamanistic.
Tauren paladin, yes, that is the lorekilling thing. Why the most druidic race in the whole game would go onto following the humans' religion with The Light, makes little sense to me.

Why did a large number of Asian immigrants voluntarily convert to Christianity?
Perhaps a better comparison (although some of the conversion was done at gunpoint, so to speak): Why did a large number of Native Americans convert to Christianity?
Why do the two have to be independent? Did I miss the memo where it said that worship of the Earth Mother and the Light have to be mutually exclusive? If anything, beings on Azeroth have
more
of a reason to believe in both the Earth Mother and the Light, because there's tangible evidence every 1.5 seconds (i.e., every time a Druid/Paladin uses a spell) that
both
exist.
The worgen, on the other hand, is basically a human in a wolf like costume, to put it that way. They're still human from the inside, they just look different on the outside.
I don't think we can say that with surety. We haven't been told enough about the Worgen. In general fantasy terms, werewolves almost
always
gain a number of instinctual wolf-like behaviors, even in human form. Most portrayals of lycanthropes in fiction reflect the struggle between the intellectual human half and the bestial animal half; my guess is that we'll find that the Worgen of Gilneas have learned to control their bestial instincts, but that doesn't mean they got rid of them, or that they're "civilized" humans by any stretch of the imagination.
