She was a Warden, jailor for Illidan, her vengence became bloodlust.
Maiev is now a vigilante who wishes death to any whom she believes have wronged her
I await her entrance into HotS

She has a lot of hatred build up in that bloodline. Did you know her Father?
Jaina took the fallen mage's place as leader of the Kirin Tor and head of the Council of Six
She is a fierce leader, but I beilive she still holds a key to a scheme of much bigger things beyond the struggle of the Alliance vs Horde.

I don't really think her personality changed much, she was just more palatable in Vanilla because she had something to do other than be a cackling melodramatic supervillain.
I would say it has changed a lot. She once defended her Elven lands to becoming the very things she was fighting against.
she then embraces her inhumanity/monstrosity and created a secure future for her race and people.
After the fall of the Lich King, Sylvanas came to the shocking realization that she, like Arthas before her, was damned to an eternity of darkness and torture in the afterlife. After entering into a pact with the val'kyr, Sylvanas was able to regain her place in the realm of the living for as long as her val'kyr survive. Knowing the dark fate that will inevitably befall her, Sylvanas has embraced her people as a bulwark against the horrifying darkness that awaits her in the end.[5] Following this, Sylvanas has launched an aggressive attack into the regions of Lordaeron and the greater Eastern Kingdoms not directly under her control, in an attempt to conquer the continent and secure it for the Forsaken.
Now she will try and become the next Lich King (or in her case Lich Queen) it is a matter of time. if you read her entire History, her personality changes A LOT!
