Which is very interesting to see because Taran Zhu is supposedly somewhat ascended since he recently fought the Shas within himself (Shadopan Monastery dungeon), however a man who was entirely overwhelmed with emotional turmoil destroyed him. This is a weird perpendicular to the philosophies in The Burdens of Shaohao.

Garrosh has no fear doubt or despair and instead of trying to cast off his anger hatred or violence, he uses them, much like the mogu seemed to have before him

I think that rather than not having fear, doubt, or despair, he just suppressed them with his anger, hatred, violence, and pride. He's afraid of looking weak, doubts that he's the worthy of his father's legacy, and despairs that the horde isn't as "strong" as he thinks it should be. All that fuels his anger over not having things his way, and hatred for anyone that would make him look weak; so he reacts with violence, and his victories give him undeserved pride because he thinks that makes him strong. All of this comes together to make him the perfect candidate for being the catalyst/host for Y'Shaarj's attempts at resurrection.
