Again, as I said in an earlier post, Sulfuron is an element, presumably a metal http://www.wowwiki.com/Sulfuron_Ingot, or else Ingots of it would not be able to be made. I strongly believe that is what he is talking about.

A gun is like a parachute. If you need one, and don’t have one, you’ll probably never need one again.
It still doesn't make sense because that implies that the flames of the Firelord's lieutenant are worth calling upon when you are the Firelord
Which they obviously aren't
It's the part of the Firelands where his house is, this is already confirmed if you just look at the map of the Firelands >_>
I'd say that they are returned too. Lore on flamewakers is kinda foggy. Blizzard says they're elementals despite being classified as humanoids, but unlike Geddon and Garr, none of the flamewaker lieutenants returned. However, I don't honestly think the boss Sulfuron Harbinger and the quote "Taste the flames of Sulfuron!" are related at all. One is a name, the other is refering to something like a place, or a material like Schattenlied said.
Two things can share a name without being the same thing.
Or maybe it's not made of Sulfuron, and it's an image, like for example (That's the only example i found in my head) Margaret Thatcher who's offtenly called the "Iron lady" even if she's not made of iron (lol).
It would explain why one of Ragnaros lieutnants is called Sulfuron Harbinger, he's not made of Sulfuron, but it's a title, exactly like the "Iron lady".
But it still doesn't fit with the quote "Taste the flames of Sulfuron" :/
Sulfuron as a material also works but I feel like the quote parses better as "Taste these flames, fresh from the Firelands" than "Taste these flames... from my hammer"
Btw the ingots are not obviously called after what they are made of, maybe it is a kind of controlled designation of origin, but i doubt about this hypothesis.
He's most likely talking about his weapon, the Sulfuron Hammer.

It would be interesting if Sulfuron was the Fire Lord before Ragnaros. After defeating heroic Ragnaros, it is said that another elemental will rise to power and become the next Elemental Lord of Fire, so they have to keep watch over the Firelands. So it is not completely impossible for Ragnaros to not have been the original Fire Lord.
I have some ideas...
Sulfuron could be the name of an element or even the name of the lava and fire that flows through the Firelands. This is supported by things like Sulfuron Ingot and Sulfuron Hammer.
Sulfuron could also be the actual name of the Firelands itself. Hell, Sulfuron could be the primordial name which translates into "Firelands". This can be thought of when Ragnaros states "Taste the flames of Sulfuron" as another way of saying "Taste the flames of the Firelands". This could also extend to "Sulfuron Harbinger", which could alternatively read as "Firelands Harbinger".
Lastly, as Twilight Cultist has said before, Sulfuron could be the name of the previous Firelord who is venerated by all Fire Elementals. However in current lore there has only ever been the main four elemental lords though I guess they could expand on their history as they're doing with the Aspects at the moment.
You know.. it could be both. It's not exactly a stretch for Sulfuron to be both a name and a place. It's like somebody being born on Solomon Islands, being named Solomon and eventually attaining a rank specific to that location.
That also allows for someone to be refered to as a "Sulfuron Harbringer" while also having the name "Sulfuron."

Hell, it could even be a thing too. Sulfuron Ingots forged by the Forgemaster, Sulfuron (Who also happens to be a Sulfuron Harbringer) on the Sulfuron Peninsula!
