I can easily see us becoming a WoD not because we havr to fight against Hydaelyn, but because Hydaelyn herself says we have to do that for some reason. We know she cares about preserving life, so I could see her be willing to do whatever she has to to preseve it. Even if that means asking us to spread Darkness.
I have to replay the WoD arc, but I'm not entirely convinced the "Warriors of Darkness" were really defined as such on a cosmic scale as such. Hydaelyn blessed them as Warriors of Light and they still bear Crystals of Light.

I'm concerned about how the idea of 'working against the Light to increase the strength of Darkness' will play out in practice. Is it just going to be "here are some Light-aspected enemies for you to fight because they're conveniently just as dangerous as the Dark voidsent"? That's going to be sort of cheap. But I don't know what else we'd be doing.

...hmmm, we're not going to be going after the Twelve, are we...?
