So, why is Emirates now looking towards the even-larger, thirstier aircraft? "Thirsty Smirsty, he have the gas to put in them, infidel."

This really doesn't make much sense. The A380 is twice the seating capacity of the A340 and will only be able to land at major hub airports.
How is that a suitable replacement from a business perspective?

I wonder if there are more problems airbus is not disclosing or if airbus gave away more incentives (bribes) to save face with the a380.
