Just wondering why Ubuntu used kernel 3.11 in the new 12.04.4 release..? Isn't this kernel (EOL) END OF LIFE.

Perhaps "end of line". There was a vast increase of numbering of the Linux kernel releases since 2.6. The 3.11 line is a stable Kernel and it is relatively young.
stable: 3.11.10 [EOL] 2013-11-29
This also doesn't mean that you use an old kernel. For distributions it is more important to have a stable system. There are also a lot of packages which have to be customized for new kernels, so they probably wouldn't work with the latest stable release.
