-I don't begrudge Brood War for how it ended. I mean, if the series had ended then and there...well, admittedly that could still work, if one wanted to completely subvert expectations with a "Kerrigan rules the zerg, everyone else is pretty much screwed now" ending. But in the context of a wider story, Brood War's fine. It's a dark middle chapter, where things are at their lowest for the protagonists.

-Miffed about Ouros, but more so that it wasn't Tassadar. It basically makes the Anak'Sun plot thread redundant, and I have a strong feeling that the idea was changed in development, since in a Q&A it was stated outright that Tassadar merged with the Overmind's higher functions (or something like that). I don't know what you're getting at with Kerrigan though - with Ouros, she reaches the end of her arc, being willing to sacrifice herself for the greater good. Whether she truly sacrificed herself is debatable, but at that moment in time, she's fine.

-Davis has a clear grudge against Valerian, and it's pretty much a given that she would be happy to take his place as ruler of the Dominion - she doesn't have any objections to his offer to step down. As for the DoM, I don't have a problem. It's established that she has a group of loyalists, and time is spent cultivating dissent against the Dominion for their apparent inefficiency against the zerg, hence why the DoM is able to draw on so many recruits.
