The Land of Madmen has never been mentioned in the series, unless it was in tGS and I've forgotten.
The only time it's been mentioned is the BWB. I'm guessing 95% of WoT readers aren't aware of the Land of Madmen.
People complain in books when someone/something suddenly comes along out of nowhere to save the day. I think it should go the same way with bad guys ruining the day, and Demandred suddenly showing up with a ton of channelers from the Land of Madmen would be the same thing.
That's why, between Land of Madmen and Shara, Shara is much more likely. We've heard about Shara several times. From the Jainfarstrider book early on, to the silk from east of the Waste, to Graendal's pets.
