It's pretty damn simple as it why they didn't use the eagle. THERE ARE frickING FLYING WRAITHS ON DRAGONS BLOCKING THE WAY.

Sauron had to die first.

Yeah it would have been guaranteed death for everyone involved, and would have required more people. Seriously, Sauron sees a frickton of Eagles coming, the Wraiths can catch up pretty quickly and probably manage to kill the people riding the Eagles. Even if he gets past those things for the time being, they then must dismount to get to the crack of doom. Tens of thousands of Orcs are on there way there as well, plus the Wraiths are likely to follow, dismount , and follow them into the Crack of Doom. Once the Ring is destroyed the Wraiths will still be super pissed and make sure they don't exit the volcano in time to save themselves. And they would be unlikely to make it even that far.

There is one complaint I've had with LotR though: Why doesn't Sauron have a troll guarding the Crack of Doom just in case they decide to destroy the Ring?

No.

The Nazgul dont get the dragon things until Return of the King...they would not have been a factor during the council at Rivendell.

ETA: Like I showed in my earlier post, the main reason is that the eagles were largely unconcerned with the affairs of Men, Dwarves, and Elves.
