That could actually be used to explain most of what the blues have the other dragons on the defensive.
It would also work well as a chronological storyline. When you enter Northrend the other flights are reeling from a surprise attack (The Nexus 5 man at level 71-73). As you progress the other dragonflights slowly begin to organize and start counterattacking (Wyrmcrest leveling area, The Oculus 5-man in the high 70's). At the time of raid level content the other four dragonflights are fully involved (and winning through numbers if nothing else) and the Blues are desperate enough to throw their supreme commander into the fray as a last ditch effort to win (level 80 raid instance).
Of course that is just random speculation.  |
I thought that there were instances early on where players actually save blue drakes/dragons and ride them for aerial combat. What I'm looking at is that this will be a theme occasionally, and it started with Kalecgos. I'll weigh in with the idea of posession by an outside power (perhaps the Lich King or KJ/Sargeras making another attempt, perhaps the leader of the Infinite Dragonflight). The following is PURE speculation, please skip if you don't want to bother with it.

The fight against him will not be a direct kick-some-sense-into-the-Aspect fight. it makes sense for the Aspect of the Blue Dragonflight to be incredibly resistant if not all-out immune to magical assault (at the very least Frost and Arcane, but likely the rest as well). Te fight will consist of the big guy being tanked with only enough support over there to make sure your shiny meatshield (likely of the DK variety, due to anti-caster specialty) doesn't get splatted, and the rest of the raid fighting off the corrupting influence. This will likely be by showing Malygos that humanity isn't that bad, probably by saving a bunch of blue dragons or proving that you have done so.
