There are numerous timelines, not every single little change opens a new one. There is one original one, that must be preserved (at least the most important events must) or else all the timelines will collapse. There are numerioous other timelines, opened by changes in the events of the original (important ones) that if something is done to fix it then the timeline collapses without further problem.
Read twilight of aspects before continuing the discussion, it will give you more insight on this subject as well as other importants events in Cata.
Sorry for QQ'ers, but this looks sick in the tits!
The problem is that time in wow might not behave as time behaves in reality.
Blizzard created the world, blizzard makes the rules of it, and they make the rules of time. They explain some of the rules in the book.
You either read the book to get how it works and then discuss it or you discuss about something you know nothing about which i dont recommend.

Welcome to 2300 AD... will we be facing Lavos too?
.....you're talking about Timetravel, timelines, and MAGIC. Why are you trying to add logic? And yes it does make sense. He thinks that by preventing all the events that lead up to Deathwing's "win" will change the timeline, and thus none of it happens. And that's what would happen. A time line where none of the events that we've done, or helped do will happen. Yes, it'll be an alternate time line. However, chances are the timelines will then start collapsing on each other. You do not want timelines to collapse on each other. They end up destroying one another.

Think about it - although Deathwing is mad and had abandoned his task, he ist still the Earthwarden. He is still a creature created by the sworn / most hated enemies of his "masters" the old gods - a entity who was created to defend Azeroth together with the other Aspects against them. He still holds inside his deformed body the power of the Titans to fight his "masters" (and if you had read the War of the Ancient Triology - you'll know that he had already proven himself not to be a truly reliable servant).
Im shure the old gods must hate Deathwing exactly the same way as they hate anything the Titans created. Of course they'll use him the destroy the entity of the Aspects and everything in the world - but they would never allow a Aspect to survive in the end (so that he maybe could use his "Titan"-imbued-powers" against them or could become a centre of resistance).
So it is only natural that they would kill him - in the second he had fulfilled his task.
So these echos of Jaina, Baine, Tyrande and Sylvanas. Are they ghosts of some sort or what? Would be interesting to know where they came from.
-Insert flashy and awesome Photoshop signature of my WoW character here-
Echo's seem to be the evil twin counters of the origionals. Jaina as a mage stuck in mirror effect, each element seperate....sylvanas probablly in her old banshee look...and Baine might be a warrior like character since it says this aspect abandonded his power for bloodletting or w/e.... What I don't understand is why would they kill the friendly dragon aspects. Ysera and Alexstraza seem to be cooperative.
That is not dead which can eternal lie, And with strange aeons even death may die. Here lies Deathwing, embodiment of death.
