If Morganti weapons do interrupt the normal flow of Dragaeran souls to the LoJ plane rather than destroying them (as is assumed by all on Dragaera) then we have to ask: to where are these souls deflected? Can they still be reincarnated as Dragaerans? Or must they reincarnate as Easterners? Or do they go to yet another place from which they can access neither of these planes. I also like the idea of Faerie (Dragaera) being a separate plane from "the East". It explains why one has a sky and the other only "the overcast". It also, as you said, explains why the Jenoine have never tried to invade Dragaera from the East.
