Just saw the movie again last Sunday night, and, coincidentally, had some thoughts about this issue. I noticed something about the Kracken, particularly that he retrieves souls for Davy Jones. Bascially, he attacks, the souls that are either dead or dying are returned to the deck of the Flying Dutchman, and then Davy does his little 'are you with me or do you want to go to hell' song and dance. Which means that Jack is going to end up in the crew of the Dutchman, or at least undead and well on its deck, therefore supporting your theory and also providing a fairly easy way, plot-wise, for him to be rescued.
Also, I have heard these things from primary sources (those involved with the film) about Part 3: a) that the villain is primarily the East India Trading Company, b) that there's going to be a sort of UN Council of remaining pirate captains that try to combine their forces to strike back at the EITC, and c) a clip at Comic Con showed Jack fighting Davy Jones atop the rigging in the rain, and d) Elizabeth and Jack are together for a time in the third while Will is elsewhere (which is when Keith Richards comes in). Could Davy be enlisted to their cause after some of Jack's machinations? Hard to say.
Indeed, not sure what conclusions to derive from all this. While I do think Will is tied metaphorically to Davy Jones, that was explicit enough in DMC, I don't think that means he will take over for him, simply that he'll have the same choice to make at some point (and, being Will, he will make the right one, unlike Jones). I think he'll be tempted. Also, I really think that line of Jack's about the kracken not being tamed with Davy's death was a Sparrow manipulation of sorts for some ulterior motive, because why would the souls aboard the Dutchman be freed if the heart is killed but not the monster? Doesn't make sense.
So, lots to think about, and a long time to keep thinking about it. I'm considering giving up while I'm ahead, just so that I enjoy the third as much as I did the second.
