If Terry didn’t leave the show, Pah Wraith/Dukat would have simply zapped Jadzia unconscious or a Bajoran security redshirt would have been in her place. Worf wouldn't have trashed Vic's lounge, and Jadzia would have taken leave to visit Captain Sisko just before he, his father and Jake leave to fird the missing Orb.
dax death question....

- Start date
Trill, like Kryptonians, are vulnerable to magic.
Maybe Marritza didn't die after all...
As for Dax, could it be that sehe had been given some of these fancy future stimulants, so she was conscious while still at the brink of death?
Marritza should not have died (or it should have been possible to bring him back to life).

With Dukat...I think once the Pah-Wraith went out of him, he may have been a bit stunned at what he'd done. He did look kind of somber on the way out--I don't think he regretted what he'd done in the sense of striking against the Prophets, but I do think he may have wished he'd been able to attack Sisko or Kira, or someone else he had more direct enmity with.
Like I said, I'm not sure that's so easy when the victim does not WANT to live. Even in the 24th century, I would expect the patient's will to continue to be a factor as it is today. I think Marritza's spirit would've been long gone even if he could be physically revived--all you'd have would be a brain-dead shell, is my guess.
And with Dax, I suspect that was the case, in order to give Bashir time to preserve the symbiont.
I think Dax did, but Dukat did such severe neurological damage it wasn't possible.
Marritza's a different case, though...his wound should've been much simpler to fix, but I think on some level, he didn't allow that to happen.
Perhaps Marritza merely refused care. At the time, he was not a prisoner, and if conscious fully free to make such a choice--assuming medical ethics work the same in the 24th century, which is, I admit, a logical leap.
Likewise, declaring the man mentally incompetent would not have been the hardest task.
Still, I stick by this theory as the best explanation.
I'm not sure he was conscious long enough to refuse care in any verbal manner--it didn't look like they cut away from the death scene for any time. It was more like--in goes the knife, BOOM, he's dead.
