It's not too bad, infact I like it a lot. But there are some issues you're gonna deal with.

The glow is a bit goofy. But you mentioned that.

I personally think the attack slam would be better with Units/NightElf/DruidOfTheClaw/Tj_leaf.blp or Textures/Leaf4x4.blp (with 4colum,4Row settings) or Textures/Leaf.blp, and perhaps a green sparkle glow. That'd be just plain fancy.

Tauren animations can really balloon up a model's file size, but at the same time you use in game textures, which is a space saver. I don't think I"d change anything, seems like a fair trade off. Only wish there was a better model to use animations from. (I hate Tauren animations only because they're so taxing on model sizes)

The biggest thing that it won't get accepted without: it has no camera! To set a camera you need to find an appropriate view of his face in Magos (That's what I use) and then when you got a good angle, go to Windows right of Team Color, then click camera, and right click the white and click set camera from current view. Then test it out in game and make changes where needed.
There's a better way though, by putting a portrait amongst the animations, but I don't know how it works.

It'd be great if you could put in a portrait, but I suppose Ancient Protector portrait would work just fine? Not sure.
