He was always completely dead. From the second we learned about him in MoP the devs said he was already dead as dead can be.

Nowhere does it say Nzoth increased in power due to the others dying. Hell Yogg was more powerful than him. If anything his having to hide has been a hinderance as well as working with a megalomaniac who used to have massive power and is now a shadow of what she once was that would probably backstab him for power at every chance considering she isn't under his thrall to our knowledge(merely indebted since he saved her from becoming either dead or a wretched).

They're more like sperm cells meant to impregnate the planet into something awful.

Cthun was attempted to be resurrected, Y'Shaarj was never almost resurrected.

Yes we do considering Y'Shaarj was able to do the same while being dead as dead can be and the fact that they said he is dead as dead can be.
Titans wasnt able to kill old gods, because they was linked to azeroth to mach. Whats the reason why they build prisons. So how can some groups of mortal destroy old gods, without hurting Azeroth? This is bullshit.
Yeah, N'Zoth used to be the weakest. And he hasn't had to hide. His complex sank during the Sundering 10.000 years ago. And you... think he is weak because he has Azshara to contend with?
Okay, throw away all you know about the Old Gods for a moment, and forget their established power levels. Their power levels are bullshit, because unlike Aman'thul's or Archimonde's or Gul'dan's, an Old God's power isn't static. They are a disease. They arrive as an impact of a lump of flesh. What they become, is this:
That, is a Mature Old God. Now, can an Old God that has freshly landed hurl the world into darkness and consume it? No. It's a lump of flesh. Can an Old God that holds 1/4th of the world do it? No. An Old God grows into this giant creature when it has no more competition. Guess what N'Zoth is busy becoming? We see his tendrils in Kalimdor. We see them on Northrend. Both places not originally in his domain.
Everything we saw in Cataclysm had N'Zoth behind it. He was the one holding the strings of Deathwing, and the Twilight Hammer. His forces joined the Naga in Vash'jir. The Emerald Nightmare was his tool. In short, so far we've seen N'Zoth do far more impressive things than the other Old Gods. And he sure isn't stopping his growth. And he did all this with his prison still holding him back. But not for much longer. A world-spanning unconstrained N'Zoth will make what we've faced before, child's play. If the Priest Dagger is to be believed, the final Old God standing becomes the world's devourer.
That is a depiction. And way to head canon that anything happened to his prison. Show me a source of the prison part. I'd also like to see his tendrils in those places you listed.
Edit:
Shadow Priest artifact actually proves you wrong anyway as it says he's still in his prison but trying to get out.

Actually he died at where the Well of Eternity/Maelstrom, where the Titan Aman'thul tore him from the ground. Rather than a tick, though. He was a tentacled worm that had buried deep, so Aman'thul ripped out a lot bigger thing then expected. It was torn apart in the violent act, with many organs landing on Pandaria. That, is what cursed the land. The heart, being the strongest organ, was sealed up for study. It was definitely connected to the Sha. And new ones no longer spawn now that its gone.
That's not a depiction. That's an ingame image. There's other planets in the background as well. It's a screenshot I took myself during the Star Augur Etraeus fight. He shows you these planets specifically, as a portent of what's in store for Azeroth.
It's the Priest Dagger that mentions N'Zoth appears to be breaking free.
All Old God activity since Yogg-Saron died is N'Zoth. You can see his tendrils in Black-Fathom Deep and Stonetalon Peak in Kalimdor. And arguably Southern Barrens, but those shadowy things may be from the Nightmare that seeps into the real world. There's the flesh maw in the Twilight Highlands, and those during the Siege of Dragonblight. He is definitely extending his reach world-wide, into territories that previously belonged to other Gods.

The void has the power to send old gods everywhere. That's some crazy power if you think about it, and the kinds of old god numbers that would require. It helps to have a face that represents the unknown. The ultimate powers are always best partally hidden. Was/is there an old god home world?
I also think about the dead titans, do they just vanish? If Azeroth is dead, wouldn't other titans blood be powerful also wherever it is?

outside of the physical universe, where the void lords form them and launch them at planets.

edit: I like to assume the dead titans bodies are just floating in space, mutilated titan bodies bigger than planets is a cool image.
Xal'atath whispers: It is ironic that the weakest of us may be the ultimate victor. C'Thun, Yogg-Saron, Y'Shaarj, and... well. Only one would remain to consume the world, that was always meant to be.
