I think it's pretty clear that the omission of diefic origination implies the lack of gods as we normally think of them. The closest we get are entities like Elune, who while called a "goddess" is more likely just a powerful and benevolent creature (like a naaru). While it is likely that spirit healers are just trappings for a gameplay mechanic, it's fun to think of them otherwise. Besides, any unanswered question is potentially new lore in waiting. I prefer to think that blizzard makes these gameplay choices thoughtfully, or at least build on pleasant accidents.
