I've got a lot of time for this particular genre, since it concentrates on genuine camerawork and in-game footage rather than fancy effects and model-viewing.
First of all I'd have honestly picked a different soundtrack. The thing about PvE encounters is that they are supposed to convey a sense of an 'epic battle'. The pseudo-synth music doesn't help that case at all, especially since the other sound-effects are used very sparsely.
Some of the shots are good, some not so good. The trick with videos like this is to get the best shots that convey they sense of scale of the encounters, without ruining the cinematography with raiding mods and UIs. Movies which did this well include Security vs Naxxramus, Black Temple : The Movie, Blackwing Lair : The Movie, Nihilum vs AQ40. In this case, it seems like the prerogative was to 'get a movie out of the guild kicking ass', rather than to create a cinematic experience. That's fine in itself, I just think it's overshadowed by the work of others.

A different take: the soundtrack actually captured epic battle for me... in the anime or Final Fantasy sense. This is exactly the kind of music when the final, climactic clash happens. Especially appropriate because the video featured so many casters and ranged spells, reminding me so much of those anime battles with the missiles and rockets just filling the screen.
It's vigorous and upbeat... and (admittedly) campy.
Of course it's not John Williams... and some battles were meant to use orchestral music. But not in bright and pink Tempest Keep, fighting beautiful Blood Elves—IMHO, using something orchestral would make it seem "trying too hard".

I just want to say, the music is NOT the john williams score from the 2005 movie, it is the Jeff Wayne musical version from 1978, not linked to any movie.

Ahh okay. I was just going by his comment:
"The Tempest Keep soundtrack was taken from "War of the Worlds (2005)" ost (which I havn't seen, I 've only seen the 1953 version). I had already use this soundtrack in the Exodarpart in a previous video : Frenezy Zerg Tour. I found that it fits well with Draenic architecture."

Actually it's some funky instrumental remake version, probably from a few years after the (musical-version, with singing) original. Still really cool to hear it again, made me wanna listen through the whole 2,5 hour thing again and cringe at its sweet scifi campiness.

Awesome. Long, but well worth it. I haven't seen TK yet, and this just makes me look forward to it even more. It never fails to amaze me how people can create movies like this while they're raiding. Quite the talented crew.
