So how are the Alliance and the Horde going to cooperate now?

One of the most if not the most likely candidates for leading the Alliance is now King Greymane (being a king in the old alliance and how important Blizzard seems to be making him), and Sylvannas is now the Warchief.

And I don't think that there's anyone in the Alliance who could possibly hate that more than Greymane. Greymane already hates the Horde from the old wars. Sylvannas used the Plague against the Worgen while invading Gilneas (the Gilneans weren't even part of the Alliance when they were attacked), polluting the city and driving the worgen out of their home. Sylvannas personally killed Greymane's son in front of him.

And as far as Greymane is concerned, the Horde got his friend Varian killed by abandoning the Alliance. He certainly didn't seem happy about anything going on in the cinematics.

Im 99% sure Anduin is the new king and leader of the Alliance by right of succession.

Yes, Anduin is the new human faction leader. But it doesn't necessarily mean that he'll lead the Alliance, from what I know.

I don't think they will. I mentioned this in another post, but Blizzard is sort of running out of ways to keep the Horde and Alliance as separate factions. This will be a huge reason to keep them at arms from a gameplay perspective that is believable. I think it's working too; judging by the posts here it seems like Alliance players are pretty pissed at the Horde.

I feel like this is unfair because Alliance players only see things from their perspective in the scenario. why don't they get all the cut scenes :(

The fact the Alliance don't/won't see the Horde retreating because they were almost all crushed saddens me. They wouldn't have put the entire Alliance leadership on the line to help the Horde so why was there any expectation the Horde would stay when they were at risk of dying? Jania's reaction especially has made me very salty

Maybe they didn't put the entire Alliance leadership because Greymane and Varian alone seemed to be fighting better than everyone in the Horde put together.

Having seen the battle as a player from both sides the pace of the Alliance battle is yawn-worthy compared to the Horde. The Horde has constant waves of Legion crashing into their front lines, the Alliance has groups of demons attacking in waves with long pauses in between. The Horde are the only reason the Alliance were even able to posture and dialogue with Gul'dan as long as they did, maybe if the Alliance had made sacrifices to the extent the Horde did they could have killed Gul'dan and slowed the invasion. But you know, Horde = red = bad etc :)

The gunship was firing at the same demons that the Horde was fighting.
