Just because Rand dies doesn't mean it can't somehow be turned to the Patterns advantange(There is at least one theory of the Dragon called forth by the Horn of Valere). And if Moridin dies at the wrong time he can't really stop or properly help the DO stop Rand in his signature fashion. If he doesn't defeat Rand before dying then he might be reborn which is contrary to what he wants. Also in another fashion if they die then the happy accident of them being linked will be dissolved.
I'm somewhat confused. I'm the one who said that the Shadow didn't want Rand dying, remember? But your last point does bring an interesting possibility - if they were life-linked, as you assume and I disagree with, then Shai'tan could simply kill Moridin and reincarnate him. Instant dead Dragon, and Shai'tan doesn't even lose anything.
Also a few sworn AS hardly match up against all other AS being appalled that such sisters swore and suspecting compulsion. And that suspicion hardly makes the difference between not trying to control him and being an ally
All right, maybe not disastrous.
The first rule of being a ninja is "do no harm". Unless you intend to do harm, then do lots of harm.

What will be the punishment for Moridin for allowing Rand to do what he did?

Given that LTT was more scared of the TP than of killing Min, I doubt the DO didn't intend it. *NM*

How do we know it wasn't part of the DO's plan?

That presumes that Moridin KNEW that Rand could access the True Power through their link...

You're assuming that Rand channeled the TP through Moridin

Well, it was win-win for the Shadow.

The Shadow aka Moridin doesn't want Rand dead because he might die with him

No, I don't think so.

I agree, I think the Dark One DID give Rand permission to use the TP

I thought Rand was so desperate that he reached the True Power alone.
