Are we sure that the tauren Seers only use the light of An'she?

In the quest A Seer's Staff, Liwatha says:

"In the eyes of the Earthmother, you are ready to become a full seer."

But the Sunwalkers (the paladin trainers) never spoke of "both Earthmother's eyes"... They say:

“The light of the Sun illuminates the path to wisdom. Where shall we walk today, friend?”

And also, you have to see the leader of the tauren priests:

Tahu Sagewind Cataclysm

Tahu appears with a "sun eclipse" in his forehead... What is it the meaning of that? Both eyes of the Earthmother (Sun and Moon) together.

That's why I think its wrong to say that the Seers only revere the Sunlight. They revere both eyes, both Sunlight and Moonlight.

Of course Tauren revere both eyes as facets of one being, but Sunwalkers do indeed rely on the sun for their powers, just as the Druids do with the moon. What Liwatha says may be a general phrase, "in the eyes of" meaning "in the opinion of".
Tahu is wearing the druid T8 headpiece, which depics a crescent moon, not a sun eclipse. I'd call that more an oversight than any hint at the Sunwalkers drawing power from the moon - except of course faith, like every other Tauren, may they be Sunwalker, Shaman or Hunter. ~ Nathanyel (talk) 04:02, 13 July 2011 (UTC)
I'm not saying that Sunwalkers use the power of the moon, but the Seers. And the crescent moon in the Tahu model... Don't you think it's strange that they give him a druid headpiece? Which depicts a "golden crescent moon", that could be a solar eclipse?
And about the "general phrase", I really think it's strange that a Seer (that supposely reveres the Sun) refers to both eyes. I think that the Seer, using both eyes powers, embodies the balance perfectly while we have the druids (Moonlight) and the Sunwalkers (Sunlight) in both extremes.
PS: Sorry for my bad english. It's not my first language.

Er of course I meant Seers whenever I said Sunwalkers, 'twas early morn.. Still, the same holds true. It is not strange at all that even someone who draws power from the sun would acknowledge the existence of both the sun and the moon as their duality represents the actual deity, or, as I said, merely talk about the Earthmother's gaze/opinion. ~ Nathanyel (talk) 15:54, 13 July 2011 (UTC)
Have you really never heard anybody use "in the eyes of" to mean "in the opinion of"? Because it's a pretty common phrase, and I'm talking about real life and not just in-game. -- Dark T Zeratul (talk) 17:26, 13 July 2011 (UTC)
May I'm reading too much in a phrase -.- But still it's strange that the Seers talk about the Earthmother, when the Sunwalkers talk about the Sun. Don't know :/ The Seers revering both eyes fits whit the balance mentioned by Tahu, having in one hand the sunish Sunwalkers and in the other hand the moonish Druids. :S --Cemotucu (talk) 19:21, 13 July 2011 (UTC)
Seer says: So I talked to them about the Earthmother...
Sunwalker says: Wait what? You're only supposed to talk about the Sun! Didn't you read the memo?

That was funny xD Sorry if I caused troubles.
