Seriously, that was hardcore, like some infernal, toxic condor Easter egg. In the physical world, stuff like this is talked about with shudders even from afar, like the Malaysian <i>amok</i> or the Norse <i>berserk</i>. To be going about your business in Azeroth, and suddenly <b>this</b> comes out of nowhere and straight at you... it's gotta be a shock and a rush of adrenaline.  In its' way and context, it's definitely a significant event.
