Every Instance Should be in The Caverns of Time?

So, you run Dead Mines, kill VanCleef and loot whatever drops. Tomorrow, or even a few hours later you do it again... How is VanCleef on top of that boat again? Hell, you can have his head in your bag and kill him (I'm pretty sure at least).
From a game-play point of view, I get this. With random drops, you HAVE to be able to run instances more than once. However, is there a lore explanation to this? Are all instance portals links to gaps where the fabric of space-time is torn and once you leave and re-enter, you experience the same section of space-time again? Can you not change the outcome of this particular event due to it being "frozen" in space-time?

You want it lore wise, do the quest chains that are linked to the instance, once you do them, technically you have no reason to reenter the instance, so to your RP senses, you've killed him, the boss is dead, not gonna be there again.....I think, I could be talking out of my arse here heh.

Adamsm is correct.
Think of this game as a one-player game. You are the main character here to help save Azeroth and Outland from the Scourge and the Burning Legion. As you advance your way from humble beginnings, you'll have reasons to go into caverns and strongholds with the help of allies to take down a threat that exists there. Once you kill the boss (i.e. VanCleef), the threat from that group no longer exists.
But since only doing said caverns and strongholds once would be really lame gameplay-wise, Blizzard made it so you can do it multiple times for the gear that you can get.

i want that too. Many people skip all the old good Instances.
Ahn Qiraj, onyxia , Deathwing lair etc... The gear quickly gets replaced
with Green !@#$ from outland.
I killed Onyxia and a red Orc drops beter loot?

Heh, set it up so you can get full set of BoA items and cut the leveling time down to like 4 days to 80 heh.
