Not really in Aginor's case. I have a hard time believing that you can draw so much power you kill yourself without first burning out (or at least simultaneous death/burnout).
Well, we don't know this and no connection between the has really been made. Plus, I like Sidious' idea that due to Aginor's weakened body, it wasn't capable of handling the channeling he's used to and that's a good part of the reason why he died.
As for Lanfear's burnout/stilling then being healed. A couple of points.
1. Don't you think it would have wound up being mentioned by one of the FS women if she had to heal a saidar connection? We've had POVs from all the potential candidates and realistically Semirhage seems like the only one with the inherent Talent to pull off the Healing. Moghedien is noted to be ridiculously blind to areas of the Power which she had little ability or interest in, so your assumption that she would have picked up the weave in the rebel camp is thin. One of the Rebels is possible.
I agree, which is why I think a random BA probably did the healing. But we've seen plenty of omission from FS POV, so I don't think it's a huge barrier. As Etzel points out, when Moggy is mindtrapped, Moridin already has Cyndane's mindtrap, so she didn't do it.
2. Taking Siuan and Leane as examples Cyndane would be so weakend by being healed by a woman that she wouldn't be anywhere close to Forsaken strength, much less stronger than Graendal or able to fend off Alivia with *angreal (Siuan lost 2/3 of her strength) ... if you assume a 100pt scale, Cyndane would have dropped down from 100 to 33, making her more like a regular AS (ish).
This is an issue. I think that the weave the Nyn discovered has been improved upon - it's still imperfect, but just a bit better. We just don't know enough about how much of strenth drop is involved.
3. Cyndane specifically points out the connection to her lowered power and her time spent with the 'Finns. Seems like a big hint in there somewhere.
Of course she does - she was burned out/severed as she enters finnland and somehow she died there. it's all tied up together.
Anyway, while I don't think your theory is impossible, I also don't know that I would call it the most simple explanation!
Well, it's simpler than any other explanation I've seen.

I'm betting she decides to stay a non-channeler and put her past behind her. *NM*

I think that since Moiraine was in another dimension, the Bond passed to the closest holder.
