If you're referring to the Shattering in Cataclysm, Blax, Azeroth is not at all destroyed, merely scarred. The races weren't even all that displaced, whereas the similar attacks in GW2 drove the charr, asura, norn, and humans, as well as the minor quaggan, skritt, tengu, kodan, and dredge races out of their respective homes. The dwarves went extinct fighting Primordus.
The last time the elder dragons were awake was 11,000 years in the past, and the best efforts of five powerful races could do nothing but flee and hide until the dragons slept again. One race magically fled Tyria, and the rest had to be hidden by Kralkatorrik's traitorous minion.
We don't know that they actually can be put down, even through cooperative continent-wide efforts.

Honestly, Deathwing alone conquering Azeroth simply makes Azeroth look weak, not Deathwing strong.Deathwing appears to be the size and approximate power level, in game, of Tequatl the Sunless, one of Zhaitan's minions in GW2.
He doesn't conquer Azeroth, he unleashed his final cataclysm which destroys all life. The only thing the GW Dragons have on him is size.

It took the combined effort of the Dragons aspect, Thrall, the players, and the Demon Soul to put Deathwing down... That's a ridicilous amount of fire power.

There's speculation that the sixth race was completely destroyed and driven to extinction.
Even with the current dragons, one race went extinct just to slow the awakening of one of them.
And, as I pointed out already, there's the fact that one of the current major races came into being specifically because of the threat the dragons present.

Except that Deathwing did not destroy all life. What happened in some alternate future is pretty irrelevant because they can make up whatever they want and say that's what happened without anything to actually back it up.

He is preparing to unleash his final cataclysm when the players battle him. The only reason it doesn't go off is because he is killed before he can unleash it.
