I think you forget the fact that the Dark has channelers of its own. I estimate that one in three female channelers are Darkfriends, if the Tower Purge percentage holds to be universal. Couple that with the fact that the vast majority of full Asha'man are Darkfriends/possessed (as seen by the Epilogue in LoC, and the Black Tower chapters in ToM), and that means a sizable amount of Dreadlords to help the Trollocs on their merry way.
Without Ituralde, 200 Asha'man would not have been enough. His deployment of the Asha'man and the army kept it from being a slaughter. My question is does the Shadow have people to counter men like Ituralde, Bryne, Mat, etc.
Yeah, I tend to think channeling's the answer to everything.
Why would Jordan/BS write in capable Darkfriends? That would be a dangerous precedent to set.

Finally, Moiraine is free to rain down her fiery majesty on all those who would oppose the Light.

I think you are vastly overestimating the number of women dark friends
