My Rand will fake his death-theory was posted at the WoTmania Theory Post (which is gone now). Unfortunately, I didn't seem to have it anymore.
Basically, the main clues are that the Aelfinn's answers are riddles, which Rand has to figure out, and don't have to be taken literally. Then we also have Egwene's Dream of Logain stepping about a paper puppet of Rand, which strongly speaks for this idea. The same applies to the wording that Alivia won't kill Rand but will help him to die. Besides that, there are some links to legends of our time, where the hero fakes his death or is supposed to be dead while he actually is still alive.

There's also the "ripped from TAR after death" theory, ala Birgitte (re how Rand lives again).

I don't think it is necessary that Rand be a public figure as Elayne's husband.

I'm not so sure the 'blood on the rocks' isn't a red herring any more.
