Shaman cudgel stops at 5. From what I saw while working on the quest lines, it looked like there were plans to implement them after Kunark launch, but they also left a lot of Kunark to be developed after launch (like VP), so they probably finished that up, and then got pressure to focus on Velious content, and it was forgotten until Luclin came out. When they added the claw of the patriarch quest line, they found the lingering unimplemented quests, and implemented Kunark content in Luclin. A similar dilemma will occur in Velious, with shawl 8 and the ability to make Coldain Velium Temper.
Whether the later quests are added, and if so, in what form, will be a design decision. Some of them won't even be possible to do on p99 without revision, if added at all (no way to make celestial essence, for example).
