In a Future Update, MOJANG should add an Customizable Nether Feature, so then Adventure Maps, and even just plain Survival can be even more interesting!
Like, Higher Skylimit, Adding Overworld Ores to the Nether (or More Nether Ores (Nether Diamond (which can set you randomly on Fire when you Hold it) and ext)), Nether Bosses, the Nether Dragon (which is very hard to find in a Special Nether Fortress), Random Ruins.
Nether Villages (which the Evil Villagers live), can only Spawn in big, flat areas over Lava, and the space between the Lava to the Ceiling of the Area will need to be at least 13 Blocks High or More. The Village will Spawn on a Randomly Generated Island that will not be connected to any other Land Around It. So, you will need a Fire Resistance Potion, or have Blocks to get over the the Island.
Evil Villagers (trade like Regular Villagers, but sometimes, they attack you when you trade with them. Also, they take 2x more Emeralds at Random Times, without telling you)
Nether Rain (like Normal Rain, but instead of Water it's Fire, so it Hurts the Player when Touched).
If these or Some of these Ideas are Added to Minecraft, the Update should be called, Minecraft- The Death Update. I hope you like the Ideas!
Here are some Ideas that are Detailed;
The Dragon Fortress is like a Regular Nether Fortress, but it's larger in size, has Bigger Loots, More Blazes, More Wither Skeletons, Mazes, and of course, is the Home of the Nether Dragon.
There is Main Hallways of the Fortress, with 4 Block Wide Walkways, Floors made of Netherbrick and Soul Sand, 6 Block High Walls, and just Hell.
The Main 4-Way Intersection is a Big Room with Lava Windows, 6 Block High Walls, a Glowstone Light in the Middle, and just Lots of Stairs, and Half Slabs.
The Maze is well..... A MAZE! The Maze is made of Netherbrick, Soul Sand, Lava, and other Stuff! The Maze also Consists of Mob Spawners, Traps, and Maybe Death. If you do Mine the Walls, you will Find Lava, and Death. If you Mine the Ceiling, Lava, and Death. If you Mine the Floor, you will fall to Bedrock, and Meet Death.
The Fighting Room, is well.... The Nether, but you will see a Huge Monster we call, the Nether Dragon.
The Nether Dragon has 666 Heath, 666 Heath because it's like Hell in the Nether. The Dragon will Destroy Blocks, but don't think you can find the Exit so you can do Home. Nonononono..... You will Die before that. But, if you do find a way to kill the Beast, you will get 50-100 Levels of XP, Lots of Netherbrick, Soul Sand, Quartz, an Achievement, and the Nether Egg.
The Nether Diamond is like a Diamond, but it has a Reddish colour in it, instead of Blue. Also, it can create the; Nether Diamond Sword, Nether Diamond Shovel, Nether Diamond Pickaxe, Nether Diamond Axe, and the Nether Diamond Hoe. The Tools are about 2x Stronger than Diamond, and it Mines' 2x Faster than Diamond. The Armour is also 2x Stronger than Diamond and, it sets Fire to anything that touches it for 3 Seconds

Thank you Kingpin6969! The Nether really is just one big Hell Hole with basically nothing except for the Nether Fortresses and that's it! And just Nether Quartz.... Like REALLY?!?!?!?! IS THAT ALL YOU CAN DO MOJANG!! The Nether may not be as Important as The End, because of the Dragon and stuff, but the Nether is an Infinite Dimensional Hell Hole! With More Mobs that spawn in the Nether than The End! And The End is just one Island that has Almost No Caves, only 2 Mobs that spawn there, and also, there's NO ORES!! I mean, if there's Quartz in the Nether........ That means People would want to go to the Nether More right!? So.... why not make it so People can go there to get and see even more stuff! Also, if you die from a Mob, or fall of a Cliff, and your stuff doesn't fall in Lava, you can retrieve it, because you would have the Portal to the Nether right in the Sweetness of your Home! Rather than like 1,000,000,000 Blocks Away, and if you did return to the End, you can't just do back too! You have to Defeat the Dragon to Leave! And if you don't know how to skip the Ending Credits and Stuff, and you made an Enderman Farm in the End, it would take freaking ages to go back to the Overworld. And with the Nether, you can make Multiple Nether Portals (Unlike the End), so you can have like Teleports to curtain spots in the Nether, and it only take about 3-5 seconds to return to the Overworld and Back!
The only ideas I like are more Nether-exclusive ores and other generated structures.
You need to instead of posting multiple ideas in one thread, make a seperate thread for each idea, and think for longer about them (e.g. for the Nether Diamond what stats it would have as weapons and armour, or what Health, Attack etc. the Dragon would have), so we can actually understand the ideas. Most importantly, uses paragraphs and full stops, to minimise the block of text, as it makes it harder to read.
You can post a huge post with a thousand ideas, as long as they are related. These all are related to the generation of nether/nether features. So it is ok.
But it is kinda vague on what kind of ores, what they do, spawn chances, and such.
As for the villages, what are they made of? To make villages more rare in the overworld, they are only found in certain biomes. Are you going to implement nether biomes? What makes each biome different?
The nether rain doesn't make much sense. Since the whole nether is just a cave.
No, it's not. There basicly no reason to go to the nether other than blazes and nether fortresses. Glowstone? Trade with a priest. Netherakk? Pffft.... Really?! Nether Quartz? Ehhh, only if your decorative. And this'll give it more, I wouldn't say life, but thickness to gameplay.
Support
Edit: The Nether Diamond should be called something original, Nether Chrome(Or something else) and the hoe should be able to till soul sand, making the warts grow faster.
My Avatar is a Dalek, therefor your argument is... EXTERMINATED!!!
You know who can tell me something I already know? Me. All the time. I'm really good at telling me stuff I already know. I don't need help in that department. I don't know about others, but I can't imagine I'm alone here.

Netherwart - brewing
Diamonds - who doesn't need these
Gold - well it's gold
Horse armor - makes horses look awesome
Saddles - want a horse? need this
Lava - amazing fuel source
Netherbrick - looks awesome
Netherrack - no clue
Blazes/rods - brewing stand, enderchest, eye of ender, need it to find stronghold
Glowstone - better than torch light source
Quartz - Makes good decorative blocks
Soul sand - need it for netherwart and to brew
Oh and a very quick way to get mushrooms if you need them
Again, I can find that junk in a dungeon, and trade emeralds for glowstone, and the only thing that's interasante is the nether fortress, and the netherakk, ehhh...
Also, you just said that it was supposed to be a wasteland. You doomed your original point.

No I didn't 'doom' my original point. I said it was a wasteland and it is. It's an infinite generation of giant lava lakes with netherrack, soul sand, and gravel with small pockets of glowstone and quartz. The nether fortresses are where everything really is. And so what if you can find it in a dungeon? It's a whole a lot heck easier finding a fortress then mining for ages for a dungeon.

I have a Forge mod at Curse that adds a gem ore to the Nether. It let me make an enchantable hoe on which I could then place a new enchantment I called "Smart-Harvest" (making a tool that would only hit mature crops, ignoring immature crops, farmland and dirt).
My gem ore appears solitaire like emerald, and if it generates with its upper surface exposed to air, it spontaneously catches fire (hiding it from view). When I went hunting for it, the first couple were easy to find by running around snuffing out fires. Then a ghast attacked, and there were suddenly too many fires to bother with (not to mention the ghast).
If you use Forge mods, then try Uncle Jeff's Nether Gem (and leave comments so I know how to develop it further)..

I find a ton of dungeons! I just cave dive and there's just a couple of dungeons. I had so much moss stone I made a tower out of it! And yes, your just dooming your self. Why don't we improve the nether?? Mojang already said they are before there are any new dimensions!

This is an okay idea, but maybe instead of adding overworld ores to the nether think nether exclusives. Rubies = Diamonds, Chrome = Iron etc. Maybe the boss would be like the Wither but, it could only be built in the nether.
(The villagers and village idea sounds very bad imo, also all these extra things hurting you in the nether doesn't seem necessary.)
We need more Nether content, but also more Nether survivability. How about being able to craft Nether Wart into something edible, like licorice? I don't have licorice normally, but when I do it will be in Minecraft! Some unique ores would be cool, but I like Mojang's theme of Nether ores being there for very specific purposes. Maybe if they decide to add fossils into Vanilla they could be in the Nether since it is like a realm of the dead.

If regular is Vanilla then what flavor is your Minecraft?
The nether villages aren't a horrible idea, though they could seriously be improved, and I might make my own suggestion thread on that sometime.
Everything else... Eh. We'll start off with the easiest to rebut, the "rain". There is literally a roof on the nether, there's no logic whatsoever. Then the diamonds are just... no... Try imagining that in Minecraft. In a mod it might work, but implemented in MC? No.
And the dragon/fortress just seems really poorly designed. Apparently breaking blocks or going around parts will lead to death, which effectively restricts the breaking of blocks. Again seems like something that would go better in a mod.
As for the Nether Dragon, why the hell (no pun intended) would I WANT to kill it? It has twice the health of an EnderDragon and apparently has a much more difficult prerequisite to get to it, and it drops about nothing useful. The levels, sure, but I could get those easily by killing Zombie Pigmen and whatnot.
And taking a look at the nether diamond AGAIN, it's ridiculously overpowered.
