@VSU: As I understand it, we're not exactly killing C'thun and Yogg-Saron in Ahn'Qiraj and Ulduar. The way I figure it, the Old Gods are more like fungi. You may think that the mushroom you pick is the actual fungus, but that's a misunderstanding. The mushroom is more like the fungus's *fruit*. The actual fungus is a network of tiny fibers all over the soil below the mushroom. Similarly, the Eye in Ahn'Qiraj and the Mouths in Ulduar are not the Old Gods - they're constructs of the old gods, and some portion of their powers may have been poured into said constructs, but the Old Gods themselves remain underground, recuperating. And just like a fungus, destroying them for real would require destroying the soil in which they live as well.
