I don't have much to say about most the abilities (No idea what Alchemic Mastery would have done, most the others sound like prototypes of his current kit) But I've got a theory for burn resist.

Something interesting to note about Singed is that he was pretty mucht he first champion designed for the game, so I think it would be a safe guess to say that his design started in an early enough stage that the game mechanics were still being decided upon.

Anyway, I personally like to think that at some point in development they planned on having some kind of element system that would boost/decrease damage done by attacks correlated to certain elements(Think something along the lines of the elements in Final Fantasy and Bravely default). Burn resist would have mitigated fire-based damage.

I can't claim to know for sure, I just was having fun speculating
