Evil is a subjective term. Some of the PvP quests could be seen as evil, certainly.

In the Grizzly Hills you help Drakuru defeat the drakkari troll populance of Drak'tharon Keep. He ends being blessed by the Lich King.
Also in Arathi Highlands, when you help freeing Myzrael.
Still, both quest were done with the players not knowing what they were doing.

wanna do evil? how'bout this?
http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=11670
long story short.......... gnomes set up a base-camp too close to a magnataur lair, the magnataur obviously don't like it, and start atacking the gnomes....... gnomes being punty weak little bastards can't hope to defeat the magnataur when even the snobolds are bigger than them......... so what's their big idea?
go and steal a bunch of orc uniforms, plant them on the magnataur lair, disguise an alliance player (you in this case) as a warsong orc, and kill the magnataur leader, impaling him with the warsong flag.....
this causes the magnataur to focus their atacks on the horde who did nothing to this specific tribe, and leave the alliance in peace who were the ones who did invaded their territory.
this causes the death of a good orc shaman, a true servant of nature and good, and as a horde we're sent to recover his body.
this was a needless death, caused by a race too lazy to fight their own battles.
and this was BEFORE the wrath gate, and the start of the new war of orc vs humans, wich means this atack was completely unprovoked.
when the horde built another settlement near a magnataur lair (warsong hold in this case) we didn't blame the alliance to get them off our backs, because we're not cowards who are too afraid to fight their own battles.

and on the same zone, horde also shows mercy to yet more alliance cowards
http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=11711
anyhow, there's an evil quest. (if you want horde-evil quests, pretty much every quest in tarren mill calificates for that one.......) I'd find more alliance evil quests but that was the first one to come to the top of my head, there's more but for now i can't recall them.

Every quest which consists of "push this species to the brink of extinction for fun" Is pretty evil to me, and there are a lot of those types of quests...

Of course, we already knew that.
And wasn't there a post like this one before already?
edit:
Yep.

Well the apothacarys in question who organised all that are evil, yes, but player/character would have no idea the setup of the blight was going to lead to what it did. Thats a huge difference to something like following the lich kings orders as a deathknight and killing women and children (game mechanic, no children, could have been outside of game)

This doesn't mean that your character is evil, nor that Thrall is evil.
But the player is allowed to have his character perform evil acts, by helping to develop the New Plague. Ok, so biological weapons might not be evil to you. Most people tend to think that they are, me included.
And as for pledging ignorance, if people go through these meaningful quests (just see what it led to) without reading what their character is doing, then they probably don't care if their character is behaving evilly or not. But if they actually read what's being said, they are helping to develop a horrible magico-biological weapon to be released upon the world.

Doesn't matter if you 'know' or not, it's still an evil quest line as the entire thing is about creating a super weapon designed to kill both the Living and the Dead.

With that rationale, the Light could be construed as Evil in the hands of Paladins.
Ah sure; especially quests where you kill mindless undead who did nothing to the Paladin(yes I'm agreeing with you).

How can you say that? Those mindless undead are murderous and will attack and try to kill anything that they can.
But they may not have done anything personal against said Paladin. To play devil's advocate; It's similar to how some humans/draenei/dwarves/gnomes/elves want to wipe Orcs from Azeroth because some of their people died at the hands of the Old Horde.

I hope most goodhearted paladins see slaying of mindless undead as liberating them from pain and indignity.
But it
is
worth noting, as had been said, that the Light is not always used for good. This is the sort of moral relativism Blizz seems to like.

Well, here's two:
No Mercy
(Alliance)
Make Them Pay!
(Horde)
Honestly, I find the Alliance more evil. Korm is being Korm (of course), but though he talks about purging the world of the weak and desperate, for the most part, he seems to be just doing the "crush the Alliance under our boot" speech.
Justin Bartlett, on the other hand, is calmly telling you that we should kill every member of the Horde. He doesn't say "defeat the Horde" or "kill everyone except the children," no, he actually tells you that we should kill every member of the Horde.
Now, I'm not saying the Alliance is more evil than the Horde, or that there aren't members of the Forsaken that also want genocide. All I'm saying is that between those two quests, I find the Alliance version to be more evil, if only because of how calm Justin is about telling you that we should wipe out an entire people.
This has been Skreeran's opinion.

Just sayin' find a better rationale than "You helped create a weapon!" Yes, the quests are Evil because we're talking about the RAS here. Unethical methods, finding deep pleasure in horrific experimentations, etc. etc. etc. It's not just because you helped create a weapon.
True true, but all those quests where you run around poisoning things and see the effects of the poisons isn't exactly good heh.
