Actually, RAW, any time you roll dice for damage is a "damage roll." So, yes, extra damage can add a damage roll, because extra damage is still part of the same damage instance. This is a topic that people feel very strongly about though and most people think it probably isn't RAI.

That is about as debatable as things can possibly get on these forums. You are not a rules source nor are you a legal expert, so it's a bit misleading for you to call it RAW when the concensus doesn't exist.

"Expect Table Variation"

Definition of a damage roll: rolling dice for damage. So, RAW, no, there is no debate and in all the endless threads about the topic, no one has put up a credible RAW argument that deals with the definition in the RC. Plus the vast majority who claim it is "broken" actually conceded the RAW point last time it came up. So my summary was accurate.

And "think it probably isn't RAI" is equivalent to "expect table variation." Though I'd probably put it more succinctly as "expect houserules."

How does the Harmony Blade enchantment interact with a two-handed weapon such as a fullblade?

It doesn't, really. It still functions as a regular magical weapon, but you can't make use of its property nor most of its crit effect. This is because two-handed weapons do not possess the off-hand weapon quality (even if you wield them in both hands). Ergo, you have no off-hand weapon when wielding a two-handed heavy blade.

What is the point of grabbing superior implements, such as a Crystal Orb, when magic implements quickly become better than the superior implement in question?

Superior implements can be enchanted like a normal implement.  Their bonuses are in addition to whatever properties of powers an enchantment might have.  That's why it costs a feat to use them.
