As I read it - the disasters were punishment for damaging a sacred place.

The symbolic sacrifice of Scott and his friends was more powerful than regular blood sacrifices.

After the Virgins - which kicked off the whole power trip - Jennifer was sacrificing people to gain skills and powers specifically so she could survive an encounter with the Alpha Pack - healing, military strategy, intellegence... etc.

The death of the guardians AT the nemeton would have fired it up good and proper and she could use it's power to fight the Alpha's as well. Alternately she could use Scott's mother as leverage to gain Derek and Scott's help against the pack.
