Some nice ideas.
There are a few loose ends that may be used in the upcoming (two??) expansions:
Major stuff
- Adria: where did she go, what is she doing, needs a beating;
- Malthael: missing, said to be in Pandemonium Fortress going insane, probably needs a reality check;
- Black Soul Stone: fell where, and what about the souls trapped within;
Minor stuff
- Templar's scrolls/tomes: need finding;
- The Prophet (Enchantress): said to be an angel, who is he, where is he;
- Other Sins: Need to be beaten;
Not sure if Imperius will ever be a boss, he may be rash and against the existence of Sanctuary, but still is good at heart, since he's an angel and all...
I don't know about "good at heart" - remember that the angels in Diablo 3 are not the same as the angels in Christianity. They are simply the "light" side of a conflict, but they are not exactly all "good". Imperius did vote to destroy Sanctuary, which would have effectively been genocide.
Also, he was very obviously about to lay the smackdown on your character when he collapsed because Diablo turned off the lights or some such thing. He was also completely missing from the end cinematic when Tyrael assumed a place on the council as a mortal man.
And finally, there was that anime-style cinematic released shortly before the game launched, in which Diablo seemed happy to have Imperius give in to his wrath and thirst for revenge and kill Diablo. He even said "the trap is sprung" or something like that.
I stand by what I said before - I'll be very surprised if Imperius doesn't end up being an expansion boss.
I'll be pretty surprised if the end-game boss ends up being anybody other than Imperius. I think Adria will play a role in the expansion, and we will battle her at some point as a mini-boss, but I see a lot of evidence that they have set up Imperius to fall and threaten the peace that is established at the end of the D3 story.
