They get cut in half by Zealots as well. I saw a marine get cut in half and his legs kept running for a second before collapsing.

Right, but there's this huge explosion, and no matter how close they are to the blast, they stay in the same spot doing the 'fire dance' - saying units should completely blast away from ground zero.

When a marine a snipe, there should be a pink mist, followed by the the marine falling to his knees, then finally keeling over.(BOOM.headshot)

When non-mech units get killed by lightning attack (such as Psi Storm) they should start shocking until only their bones or suit remain.

In mech units by the same way they should start throwing sparks and smoke then fall haplessly to the ground.

When a unit gets killed by a Massive unit (such as Ultralisk or Battlecruiser) his body should get shredded into thousands of pieces in an area.

Perhaps when banelings destroy a building it should melt away and collapse.

Very much this. Same for units - Thors and Colossi in particular.

Zealots dying like Male Night Elves. ;)

Protoss are not space elves, zerg are not space orcs.
