While Deadsy is right that his soul has more than one personality...

I think that his madness is at least partially caused by Chanelling while Saidin was Tainted. So I guess you are right that the more he Chanelled, the greater his exposure was to the Taint.
Many people believe that the Taint actually weakens the barrier between the ages. This is largely based on Cadsuane's statement:
Just my two cents.

Some men who can channel begin to hear voices....It is part of the madness. Voices conversing with them, telling them what to do

I think the Power has been using too much Rand and is going Al'Thor.
