about respawn, death and others game mechanics
wow, is in the end, a software. so we have to accept its limits and the fact we can play it again and again.
so, yes, _our_ character can't die, we can found guns on a bear and so on.
but if you read the lore, books, and so on , no one come back from the grave to be nice and fresh, never Thrall did killed every bear in the forest.
to avoid to lose our dear character, we can resurrect him/her, but it's because it's a game, a little punishment. nothing more. it's not in the story.
in the story, you were vanquished by Ragnaros and left for dead, or everyone ran away, or you're stalled in the lair.

in the lore, when you die, you are dead. or you need a serious power soon to be resurrected.
common people dies, and sometimes evil plague made them into zombies. Even heroes dies, they did not comeback from the grave.
just think of that like infinite life in an action videogame.

My gnome never died , else my character would be in a grave and maybe some friends would come to visit sometimes .
I could do that if I stop to play that character (and one day to play it again because : "he was my dark nemesis brother / I was cloned / I falsified my death, you moron / It was a dream .. hu no :) )
no, seriously, my character never died, it is not a god, just a mortal. I play it to avoid stupid death, and assume when I'm stomped by Maghteridon I succeed to be alive in the end. beaten but alive.

about boss. In fact, mostly all boss never died. Ragnaros can come back from Sulfuron.
Onyxia lost, her plan foiled. but she can be still alive. (and Dame Katrinos is no more here for me, or just for people who have not do the quest)
Nefarian, maybe I killed it, for people who have done raids and quests, I consider he is dead. or deeply beaten. the master's offspring failed... but Neltharion is still alive, somewhere.
but well, I have to adapt. for newcomers playing the game, I can't say Nefarian is dead, he is right before them :)
I play with that my quests, npc and others players around me tells.
