I Beleive Oda stated he "hates killing characters" which is why he winds up letting them live, to use them again. But perhaps, he also realizes that killing them can make for better plot, so he hasn't brought characters back for NO reason since Pell. Franky family/Paulie? Oda wanted them for an emotional departure from water 7. He brought back Bellamy and Brownbeard since he had an idea for them to fit back in the plot. I Beleive Doflamingo has a lot of potential for further use in the story due to his world Noble heritage (last of the donquixote line?), but that killing him could also make the story even more interesting. Sadly, I suspect it's more likely oda will kill off doflamingo. Diamanté, on the other hand, I see no reason to bring back. He could very well likely die.
