Just like to point out that having a different backstory doesn't make Gul'Dan "a completely different character". He's identical to the last Gul'Dan despite his new - and honestly, mostly irrelevant - backstory.

Well, I think is better this way. No need to overcomplicate a character like Gul'dan beyond its acknowledged role in the story. Yeah, he's evil for evil's sake, but at least the story offers some context as from where all that bitterness and thirst for power and domination came from. I much more feared a "I somewhat tried to do good but screwed up" kind of story and I'm glad they didn't go there.
Lol it's the Legion that constantly toyed with Gul'dan.
As much as he pretended to only serve himself, MU Gul'dan was a tryhard who always ended up fucked in the bottom, first when Kil'jaeden abandoned him on Draenor like an imbecile and then when he got rekted at the Tomb of Sargeras, making his entire quest for power, let alone existence, meaningless.
So what happened to the other Kil'jaedens(s), as well as the other Archimonde(s)? We know that there was an AU Velen, and that the uncorrupted Eredar had settled on Draenor after being chased across the universe, so the implication is that there were other Archimondes and Kil'jaedens. Were they "absorbed" when their counterparts (in whichever alternate universe) became full Demons?
Maybe Archimonde and KJ never existed in the Alternate Universe. I can't remember if AU Velen or someone else from the AU mentioned them.
Well, that doesn't really matter since we have the same problem with Socrethar anyway. It can still be explained by saying that Socrethar was just pretending to be a normal draenei on AU Draenor while in reality he was a demon all along or that Socrethar just possessed Exarch Othaar at some point. Blizzard most likely didn't think that through when they wrote AU Socrethar to the story.

I don't think so, MU Gul'dan was a Good shaman that Ner'zul chose him as 2nd, I don't think the elements will chose to obey him willingly while Gul'dan is using the Fel magic, also Ner'zul would have notice that his way for asking the elements to help him is weird, at least the red Eye would make everyone notice that something weird about him.
Because when you have your first event in an alternate timeline is different, it slowly peels away from the main timeline, but it isn't immediately different. You still have the same people(at least for a while) but the wy they play out changes drastically.
E.G. in an alternate Azeroth, you could get an Azeroth where Anduin isn't such a scholar, because his father doesn't disappear. Now while this is an easy change, you could have Anduin best friend in one universe, as the main villain in the new one, because he never got that connection. Still the same person, just turned out very differently.
Shoot even something as basic as a plant doesn't get trampled down, that is the split between the universes, but THAT split means Sylvanas doesn't go down and get resurrected by the LK, because she could hide behind the bush and ambush them, or get wounded and get knocked out inside the bush, and thus overlooked. Could you imagine how different that would be, just from a plant not being trampled? Some concept. Some changes will be small, some huge, it is hard to predict.
It's easy enough to assume that as soon as they become demons they basically fuse with their original (demon) selves.
Or, since there's only one Legion, they never bother to go back and re-recruit them. For some reason.
Yeah, alright, it probably is best not to think too much about it. Just ignore AU/MU from hereon - the only thing to take from WoD is that Gul'Dan's back.
I don't think so. He yelled at us about how we killed him in Shattrath, and just based on that and his personality I think he'd yell at us about killing him in Netherstorm if it happened to him.
Maybe their souls fuse together into some amalgamation after they're killed in the AU Great Dark and enter the Nether? Kind of like what happened with the Pantheon and the keepers.
