Elune is most probably the most powerful entity introduced so far in Warcraft. I imagine the reason Elune would be so high, would be because she can end a war with a single spell. She is not physical, or ethereal.

I've read that she was powerless to do anything when Archimonde & Co. invaded.

Elune is like God (In a way she IS God). She doesn't involve herself in everything. The War of the Ancients ached her, but why she did not take action is really an unknown. Never specified, so her incapability is just a maybe. Shadow of Light claims she couldn't prevent it, which can be interpreted in a variety of ways. She never actually interacted in it.
assumptions and predictions aside, the RP gives a pretty much featless entity, hell even her implications seem dim in comparison to the Pantheon who actually created worlds and seemingly destroy them, who with a portion of the power they hold can create aspects that DO have fairly impressive feats to speak of, yet Elune is above all of them.

Above is a question of perspective. Maybe they are more powerful, but she's tougher to kill. That would put her difficulty level above theirs.

OK. Malorne has a Challange Rating of 61 and Archimonde of 50, AND Malorne is as a pacifist as it gets. Shouldn't he totally outclass Archimonde?
Take into account how difficult he would be to put down, that would most likely explain it, he can keep himself up and running almost constantly with the amount of healing spells, while Archimonde once having received damage depends on his regeneration in order to heal it.
As I see it the RPG (which in warcraft is canon along with books) allows the user to get a better idea of the capacities of a given Character, for instance Uthor ore the Lich King both haven't been portrayed in books that focused on showing their power (actually not alot of characters are, as Q also mentioned, portrayed in books with the intention of showing off alot of power) the books just shows a picture of a overall powerlevel, it would in the long run be rather uninteresting to read Krasus then do this and then do that and nothing else, so if one lack a idea of the powers of a Character they can look them up in the Handbooks.
I see it a bit like the Star Wars Clone Wars Cartoon, that is from what I know canon and shows a level of force mastery that makes the movie seem like magic tricks. But in the movie we can't have a jedi that can own a entire droid army by himself.
