Are diseases bugged?

I was in HoS (I think) some time ago and I tried using Devouring Plague on some of the mobs and I got the immune msg. Fair enough I thought and stopped using it until I noticed that the DK in the group could use his diseases without problems. Has anyone else experienced this?

Maybe that is the reason but as you said it doesn't make much sense RP wise. Why make things easier for DKs and not for mages for example. If you are fire specced and fight something that is fire immune your dps will drop a lot.
Something else that bothers me with Devouring Plague is that a Rogue's clock can remove it. How can that be when it is a disease and not magic?
Sorry I am ranting a little bit.

Devouring Plague is considered a life drain. Mechanical units are immune to life drain effects.

still the whole rp situation of a stone construct contracting diseases is kinda off the wall.

There's a reason why Mages were frost specced for MC and fire specced for Naxx in Vanilla WoW, although I can't seem to place my fingers on that reason...

ok, that makes sense.

For a long time many mob types were immune to poisons and bleeds, but this severely affected the performance of rogues and feral druids. Around BC they just made all mob types susceptible.

To my knowledge nothing is immune to FF/BP
Try killing BC water elementals (the kind that drop the motes/primals). They're immune to Frost damage, and Icy Touch is frost damage. Thus, you can't infect them with Frost Fever.
Oh, and in AN:OK, the water elementals are immune to it too. Really annoying trying to tank those as frost. >.<

I think this is the truth of it as well.
