There is a bit of dsicrepancy between the description for the Broken and our previous knowledge of the Draenei.
If one remembers in Warcraft 3, TFT expansion, Draenei fought against the corrupted Orcs and when Illidan found them, they were fighting under leadership of Akama for their lives against demon Magtheridon and his minions. This somewhat implies that they were still fairly uncorrupted when they joined Illidan.
But when we look at the description on Blizzard's website for the "Broken", it states that "The Broken, led by the great Akama, fell prey to the demons' sinister influence, and just like the orcs, they too were changed by the corruption."
I am not sure why there is such a discrepancy. It sounds like something happened in-between WC3:TFT time and "now". If something did happen, perhaps some kind of corruption took/is taking place, one can easily imagine that there will be a splinter faction that is trying to resist this corruption, and would seek help in this matter, most likely from Alliance. The "Shamanistic" nature of Draenei does pose a problem here, but hey, we already have Troll priests, so perhaps Draenei healers could be priests.
