Yes, the Sunwell and the lake under Nordrassil were created using water from the Well of Eternity. For all I know the Nightwell was as well. That has, once again, fuck all to do with what we're talking about.
Dude was claiming that the Well is the Maelstrom and vice versa. They're not. There is not point in the process you can point to in which the one becomes the other. The grenade analogy doesn't really work either. It's more like you drop a nuke (WoE implosion), it goes off with the mushroom cloud and everything, and afterwards you look around at all the ruined buildings (analogous to the Maelstrom) and say hey look at all this nuclear bomb around us!
As for the dragons, being an Aspect is a status and rank bestowed upon them by the Titans. It's not a core of their being, it's a power, like being the Guardian of Tirisfal. Thrall was briefly the Aspect of Earth. Is he still a Dragon Aspect? No.
Are you really this fucking stupid? Kaldorei are the original night elves. Some of them went off and spent too much time with magic which transformed them into high elves who then took the name Quel'dorai, the same way N'zoth transformed the Kaldorei that sank with Azshara into Naga. Around the same time some other Kaldorei were turning into Shal'dorei, or Nightborne, by the Nightwell. Then most of the Quel'dorei were led astray by Kael'thas and sucked too much fel so they became transformed again, this time in a pretty minor way, into blood elves, or Sin'dorei. Then a small number of Sin'dorei became corrupted by the Void which again fundamentally transformed them into the so-called void elves, or Ren'dorei. Every one of these transformations is fundamental and permanent. There is no known instance of any of them being undone.
All of these races are still elves, but they are NOT Night Elves or Kaldorei. If that's the case, then all elves are trolls, just because the first night elves were turning into elves from dark trolls.
I mean, fuck, by that logic humans are not just chimpanzees, but also fish and single-celled organisms.
