I mean... Gul'dan was dead, wasn't he? Illidan even sucked out all the power from his dead skull to stop Felwood to becoming even MORE corrupted, back in WC3. But... he made a comeback. Illidan died at the end of TBC, but... he made a comeback. Nefarian and Onyxia were dead, too. We personally delivered their heads to our leaders. But they came back.
There is no "headcanon" but a statement of fact: dead people remain dead until Blizzard decides otherwise.
Which they have done so several times already.
Does being condescending in spite of facts make you feel better?

Again, you're ignoring all differences in order to force an equivalence. The Eye of Sauron is a tower (structure) with an eye atop it. And then you take a wall (structure) with an eye in the middle of it, and say both are the same... because, at some point in that cinematic, there is a tower (without an eye) also crumbling. Never mind that said tower is disconnected from said wall, too.
What's next? Are you going to claim WoW is a LOTR rip-off too, because it has humans, elves, orcs, dwarves and eccentric midgets? And that both once featured a set of powerful rings that were interconnected (WoD's legendary)? Oh, look! Both Jaina and Saruman used to live in towers! LOTR RIP-OFF CONFIRMED!!!!!!!
The two scenes are only "extraordinarily similar" if you force yourself to disregard all other differences.
