The reason Amanda did not go into S5 was because of Sanctuary.
When not working of Stargate related projects Amanda did other work, one of which was the Sanctuary webisodes. Amadna, Damian (Kindler) and Martin (Wood) were hoping to start a whole new online enterprise with Sanctuary. In addition to streaming video, they were hoping to include online gaming, social media, and merchandise.
The widely pirated webisodes put a stop to that. But the webisodes garnered enough interest to develop the story as a regular series. After working on S4 of Atlantis, Amanda did a TV movie, Dancing Trees. While working on that she received word that Sanctuary had a green light to start filming as a regular series. The problem was that production would conflict with S5 of Atlantis, they couldn't wait until after S5. Thus the choice was made to leave Stargate.
Oh yeah I figured there had to be a reason why she wasn't in S5. Just me wishful thinking.
