Depending on how one defines a \\\"Redemption\\\" it varies if saying Grommash Hellscream´s case in Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos is one of this Trope. He is described as having submitted voluntarily (twice) to drinking Demon Blood because it promised him power.

The context upon which he dies, is that he is brought to Mannoroth (The demon who corrupted and empowered him) by his friend Thrall. His decision to come along was not his own, but by Thrall´s incentive. When they arrive, his friend attacks alone. Grom Hellscream does not attack Mannoroth until after Mannoroth has taunted him, enraging him enough to attack. He dies in his attack. His last words to the friend who had brought him there were \\\"Thrall. The blood haze has lifted. The demon\\\'s fire has burnt out in my veins. I... have... freed... myself.\\\".

In short, his actions definitely redeemed the mistake he made of dooming his own clan (Although, the previous chapters were all about other heroes: Jaina and Thrall, having captured him and forcibly cleansing him and some of his clan through other means). But in his very own mind, actions and words, he does not seem to have understood that one could do things for someone else other than himself, or for other reason than violence for its own sake.

On the larger spectrum of things, he took out Cenarius, a being who the Demons feared should they be pitted against him, doing them a huge favor.
