Then you (yeah, you) destroyed Diablo and thus the Black Soulstone. Or so I assume. There is no reference to you destroying it but none is there any reference to it being still in once piece....
I wouldn't know where you'd have to go, but I'm pretty sure Blizzard personnel have come forth and explicitly clarified that the BS is still intact. (You can see it falling through the clouds or whatever if you look close) Just put in my CE Behind the Scenes DVD, here is the Storyboard showing the soulstone is definitely still in one piece after Diablo disintegrated.
"But the Black Soulstone is flawed and cannot contain that many demons for long. We must capture Azmodan within it and shatter it... lest all these Evils be reborn."
Yep.
As for Tathamet coming back, remember that this game was codenamed 'Project Hydra.'

Non nobis, Domine, non nobis sed nomini tuo da gloriam.
The missing Angiris council member? That would be Malthael, former aspect of Wisdom.
He's pretty much an enigma. It will be interesting to see what they have planned for him. Personally, I have him coming back as the Aspect of Death and siding with Imperius against the nephalem.
Tyrael:Long ago, when Inarius and his ilk stole the Worldstone to create Sanctuary, Malthael became consumed with discovering its whereabouts.
As the archangel of Wisdom, he was tortured by his inability to recover the sacred artifact. Player:
Where is he now? Tyrael:
Some say he haunts the silent halls of Pandemonium, forever seeking answers to the unknowable mysteries of life and death.
The Enchantress' Prophet is likely Inarius, but I don't think there was ever confirmation of such.
You know, I wrote somepostsabout where the expansions might be headed. I think I overlooked or dismissed this Enchantress bit, lemme look that up.
Enchantress Eirena:
I spoke to Itherael, and he helped me translate the document. It was written by an angel who saw promise in humanity...
He began to teach a group of young women who had killed the daemons their masters summoned... Player:
You and your sisters? Enchantress Eirena:
None other. The Prophet I have followed for so many years... He was an angel! Player:
That is why you knew Tyrael was an angel. Enchantress Eirena:
Yes... but I do not know whether the Prophet was the dying angel I met or not. The writings say that he worked in absolute secrecy. Itherael knew nothing of them. Player:
Then you must find a new path through the world without him. Enchantress Eirena:
You are right. And I hope that path will still be with you, my friend,
Okay, maybe not, as they apparently translated it already. I was thinking it may have been given to her so she could fully decipher the End of Days prophecy, but I guess not. (Been a while since I've dabbled in Diablo lore )
I don't really know what role Eirena will play in the future story (I think there's a chance some of her sisters lived, I don't think she checked them all?), but suffice it to say we should be seeing angels and demons fighting on Sanctuary, likely starting with the end cinematic for X1.
