I've heard some absurd rumor about alliance being able to get the HORDE ONLY quest for juju's power flurry and so on.
This was a fix to keep balance the same on both sides. Because paladins buffs are way stronger than Shamans (even with working windfury)
2 solutions remove that quest for the alliance or give hordes paladins
I mean wtf

VG's DB is not a good reference. Treat it like Wikipedia.

I find it accurate most of the time, the only issues being mobs listed under the wrong zone or quests not having the correct faction.
Either way the OP is making a lot of baseless assumptions.

All of Juju quests should be Horde-only. Here's proof (archived pages from that era):
Quest: Ice Thistle E'ko
https://web.archive.org/web/20060224114 ... quest=4805Quest: Shardtooth E'ko
https://web.archive.org/web/20060224114 ... quest=4803Quest: Winterfall E'ko
https://web.archive.org/web/20060224114 ... quest=4802Quest: Frostsaber E'ko
https://web.archive.org/web/20060224114 ... quest=4801Quest: Wildkin E'ko
https://web.archive.org/web/20060224114 ... quest=4807Quest: Chillwind E'ko
https://web.archive.org/web/20060224114 ... quest=4804Quest: Frostmaul E'ko
https://web.archive.org/web/20060224114 ... quest=4806Whole quest list:
https://web.archive.org/web/20060713150 ... ml?zone=77First seen by allakhazam: Dec 14th, 2004 (check Wildkin E'ko quest details), this means they were in game basically from it's start. Here's another proof, link from February 2005:
https://web.archive.org/web/20050224141 ... quest=4802Even after TBC launch, they are listed as Horde only (Updated: Jan 11th,2007):
https://web.archive.org/web/20070118153 ... quest=4801Anyone confirm if these quests are available on Nostalrius for Alliance?

I can confirm. And it should be hotfixed ASAP like prioritet number 1. The reason for both faction being able to do that quest was achievements

Nah, we used in on retail Vanilla in my guild when we raided Naxx - it was originally Horde only but it was patched in to allow Alliance to use it at some point during Vanilla.
I can tell you with 100% assurance that all melee (including Paladins) used them on the Loatheb fight since we could only heal once a minute - so might as well hit him for the 57.5 seconds out of every minute in which you weren't casting Holy Light on the Main Tank.

I was alliance, juju were required for us for Naxx particularly for Loatheb, and there are some videos for my guild from that era that show them clearly being used. I'm sure theres plenty of vids showing it.
This is a rogue with juju power on doing loatheb. Guild is Illumination.
