secondly, i don't think you realise just how much content was cut from WoD in general, there was almost an entire expansions worth of content that was simply dropped and left to rot due to "design constraints" or whatever bullshit they said it was, it's like the "path of the titans" content they teased at the end of wrath that was due to launch with cataclysm but because some muppet thought it was too similar to the old runes system they scrapped it (which is likely what the artifact weapon trees are now btw), this is nothing new, cutting content because at the time it was envisioned it was great, but as the story progressed the devs didn't feel it fit anymore with what they were hoping to achieve in game.
thirdly, i refer you to point number one, no, we did not kill archimonde we simply separated his spirit from his body where it resides somewhere within the twisting nether awaiting the opportunity to reform, in gameplay terms we "killed" him for loot but in lore he is far from dead until we travel to the twisting nether (on the other side of the cosmos to azeroth just an FYI) and rend his spirit into non existence.
