Well you are right and wrong. He WAS coated in adamantium. But, having attended Blizzcon 2009 *she says smugly* I think they have been revealing a bit of info on him.
Obviously what we knew before was he had himself covering in Adimantium to stop demon souls effects from tearing him apart. he ended up loosing it, but his degeneration didn't change.
So far Blizzard revealed allot about current Deathwing. what he's been doing up til now. He's just been healing, and growing more powerful, to the point where now he is able to physically break through the elemental plane of earth into Azeroth. Thus causing the cataclysm. As the name suggests this causes enormous damage to the world, tearing tears lands, causing tsunami's etc etc. Reshaping almost everything in warcraft's eastern kingdoms and Kalimdor. (Very cool imo =) )
But anyway, Yeah, they made it sort of sound like he's been ditching his armor. I mean, if you look at his lower jaw, and stomach in that one shot by Q'Anilia it looks like they are the only places the metal remains. Since he's been healing, he doesn't need the armour anymore to hold himself together. And since he's hot stuff, it would seem he hasn't bothered replacing the parts he's lost due to his natural power.
Of course this is all pretty much speculation atm. They haven't been specific. Looks like we'll have to wait for the expansion to learn more =)
What they have said is his power now is "tenfold" what it was. So if he WAS as powerful as Alexstrasza, he's on a whole new level now. Though i guess it makes sense, since even Alexstrasza can't alter the world in years like he did in apparently only a number of hours.
Healing from what, I wonder. He retreated in Day of the Dragon, but he wasn't really injured. He brushed of the attacks of the aspects like they were nothing, but knew he couldn't defeat them, so he fled. I don't think the battle injured him much.
As of before that, Rhonin described Deathwing to be a dragon as black as night. According to him, Deathwing was all black, this declared when Deathwing could fly over the night sky without being seen even when he was close to the ground.
Then there's Khadgar. When Khadgar fought Deathwing, he stated that there was no part of Deathwing that wasn't covered by plates. Khadgar couldn't do anything until the point where he discovered a damage, a crack between two scales and used it to his advantage.
So obviously for Khadgar it was hard to find any place on Deathwing's body that wasn't clad by adamantium.

His own malice and power was what was damaging his body. Atleast that's what they said at blizzcon.
I had always thought it was demon soul's power that was the causing of it, but maybe not?
The Dragon Soul changed Deathwing, but what he did, he did to himself. Once the process had begun, it wasn't going to stop. Dragon Soul or no Dragon Soul.
Either it's retcon then, or we have Richard A. Knaak to blame for Deathwing being dandy in Day of the Dragon. Because Day of the Dragon is relatively near current date, and he was fine there.
Of course, there was a hunt scene for Deathwing that wasn't described in the book. When Malygos, Nozdormu and Ysera went after Neltharion, we didn't hear any more of him in that book. Things could've happened before he escaped.
Alexstrasza attacking him could've resulted in some chain-reaction as well.

Hmmm, chain reaction? what kind of reaction do you have in mind?

Guess the guys at Blizz have been hiding some things from us.
Since they also said they've been planning Deathwing since vanilla. 5 years ago.

Lava flows in the vains of Deathwing. Any type of activity that "awaken" his body beyond its common state can result in what could be defined as eruption.
After all, Alexstrasza beat him up pretty badly. A lot more than Nozdormu, Ysera and Malygos combined. Something Deathwing didn't see coming. It could've thrown him of guard, but it could also have started something inside him. Like how activity causes a vulcano to eventually erupt, the lava in his veins could perhaps have become more active either as a result of Alexstrasza beating him up, or the hunt by the other aspects off-panel.

Hmmm, could be, i see what you're thinking.
Another possibility at the very least. He's surrounded in mystery ;p i just can't wait to learn more. He's always been one of my favourite warcraft characters =)

He's my favorite Warcraft villain 🙂 I LOVED him in Day of the Dragon. He really won my heart in that book. Korialstrasz too, who is probably one of my favorite protagonists 😛 Of course, Nozdormu is an all-time favorite. his overall attitude is priceless.
Hmmm, i really going to have to get that book. I must have said that like 10 times but i really mean it this time! =D

Alexstrasza was said to have hurted him where no teeth ore bite could reach, she attacked his very soul with the pain and suffering she had felt from the abuse of her children by the Orcs. Also I'll like to point something out, while you are absolutely correct that the Aspects before they regained their power from the Demon Soul was unable to do any lasting damage to Deathwing which is very impressive seen as what level they was still operating on in comparison to Krasus, lets not forget that they litterally stomped him when their power was returned, also iirc it was stated in the book that when Deathwing created the Demon Soul he lost alot of his own power, perhaps that is the power that have returned to him?

Actually it's been said that Deathwing didn't use any of his power in creating the Demon Soul. That's why his scale was able to actually damage the Demon Soul.

However it was stated in DotD that when Deathwing created the demon soul he himself was too left weakened by the process, that could ofcause be those injuries that he had to cover his body in adamantium in order to hold them at bay.
