I'll buck the trend and say I think Lan is going to live, and that he will see his nation restored. I only say that because if he dies at TG, his bloodline will die with him - I'm assuming Nynaeve has the sense to be on contraceptive herbs at this point in the book - and RJ hasn't referenced Malkier again and again just to let that happen.
Rand will die, magically come back to life, and go off and settle down on a farm somewhere with Min. Avi and Elayne will make the odd conjugal visit.
Egwene will end up forming a loose coalition of all the female channeling groups. She may subsume them all into the WT, or into a different superorganisation. The perceived threat of the Black Tower will be the driving force behind this. True male-female unification is long way off - considering channeler lifespans, a thousand years doesn't sound unreasonable.
Siuan will marry Gareth Byrne and settle down to be a happy housewife and mother, in yet another tragic case of a steely, astute and extremely capable WoT-character having their brains turned to mush by hormones.
Moiraine and Thom will both live. They will try to settle down and live a quiet and respectable life, and will fail miserably, getting drawn into politics and schemes again and again, in spite of their best intentions. Since Cairhein suits Moiraine and Thom will want to fuss over Elayne's children, they'll probably end up working for the Trakands more often than not.
Galad will marry Berelain. He will die about six months later, after having challenged to a duel every man who he sees look lasciviously at his wife, and eventually tangling with one who is better than he.
Elayne...well, if there was any justice, she'd blow herself up poking at a ter'angreal she didn't know how to work, but things like that don't happen to Our Heroes. Even when our heroes are idiots.
Logain kills Taim and takes over the Black Tower. He sets about redeeming the image of men who can channel. It's no easy task, but in the next Age his name is one of the most recognised and famous in history. Scholars wonder if perhaps Logain was the Dragon, and there are fierce debates on the subject.
Aviendha succeeds, eventually, in reforming the Aiel. But the only way she can do this is by breaking them further. The die-hard traditionalists return to the Waste and make war amongst themselves. Eventually they die out. The moderate Aiel change and find a new purpose. They romanticise their warrior past, even as they forget it.

I'm wondering if The Song won't have some factor in reforming the Aiel
