This is actually something myself and other Lore nerds have talked about. It seems the Old Gods form materials out of their own blood in different ways. Saronite is the most in your face example, but we have been theorizing that materials like Silithyst possibly formed from C'Thun, and the that the red-metals called Bloodstones used in the quest "Prison Break In" were formed from the blood of whatever Old God is influencing Tirisfal Glades. The Journal of the Warden in that quest line further hints to Old God influence on the materials.

I don't think we will use another crafting material based on the Old Gods though, but instead will see them in quests if any revolve around them. The metals I am actually theorizing will be some basic fire based metal (Lavanite Ore just to make up a name) to be the expansions Cobalt/Fel Iron, Kaja'mite to be the expansions Saronite/Adamantite, and a resurgence of Elementium to be the expansions Titanium/Eternium. The old Elementium changed to something like "Unpurified Elementium", if they even keep it at all considering all the rebooting that is going to happen.
