Well, the battle against Doflamingo was always a tag-team effort. If Law hadn't been there to deal grievous damage to Doflamingo, I'm pretty sure Doflamingo could have outlasted Gear Fourth and crushed Luffy. You saw what Doflamingo did to Law. If Luffy had been alone, things most likely would have gone much worse for Luffy.

I'm not sure I'd be satisfied if this was the end, but it seems to be a very fitting symbolic defeat for Doffy. He won't be down for the count, but I don't see him showing off any more moves except possibly increasing the speed of the Birdcage, which I'm pretty sure will remain even after he falls.

Also Luffy didn't want to hurt Bellamy, whereas he wanted to beat Doflamingo to a pulp.
