My personal theory is the Furbolg. The evidence in favor is:
+ They're traditional night elf allies
+ There's (barely) room for a starting area adjacent to Darkshore, especially if much of it is underground like Timbermaw Hold, and such an area would be in Furbolg territory.
+ They fit the "not pretty" criterion
+ The existing Furbolg faction was renamed in 1.9 as if to make room for a second one.
Points against are:
- No overt Outlands connection I know of, though I can certainly imagine that Illidan annoyed them at some point.
- Shamans again. Could be weaseled around with an excuse like "this particular group of furbolg abandoned shamanism to avoid the furbolg corruption problem".
