(though it may be that some previously thought fulfilled were misunderstood, such as Siuan and Gareth (though I was never happy about their justification in their case))
It may also be that some are dreams, and dreams don't always come true, though that seems a little silly for a dream that shows two alternate possibilities
So, what got fulfilled and what got left out?
Darlin:
Egwene
Elayne
Gawyn
Logain

Darlin:
He lost his command post, but did he die? Did they get him to an unlikely bed for it?He'll die in bed, and she will survive him (TPoD, Ch. 27).
Egwene
Could this be the meeting? Leilwin was not there at the timeRand confronting her, and the women with her, and one of them was a Seanchan (TDR, Ch. 48)
Elayne
I don't recall a red hot iron, and I can't remember how Birgitte was killedA red hot iron and an axe (TGH, Ch. 43)
Gawyn
One of the most interesting for me. He married her and died, so, if he hadn't married her, then he would have had a long life. I guess it was possible that he could save her, but not marry her, though there is also Min's Viewing to take into accountHe was standing in the road in front of him, and he reined in. Not because he saw her (Egwene), this time, but the road that had been straight now forked right where she stood, running over tall hills so no one could see what lay beyond. She knew, though. Down one fork was his violent death, down the other, a long life and a death in bed. On one path, he would marry her, on the other, not. She knew what lay ahead, but not what way led to which (ACoS, Ch. 7).
Which was fulfilled when she bonded him"Gawyn kneeling at Egwene's feet with his head bowed, and Gawyn breaking Egwene's neck, first one then the other, as if either could be the future. She had never seen that fluttering back and forth, as though not even the viewing could tell which would be the true future. Worse, she had a feeling near to certainty that it was what she had done this day that had turned Gawyn toward those two possibilities." (TSR, Ch. 47)
Logain
I guess the Rand faking his death part was true, but I don't know that Logain could be said to step accross Rand's bodyLogain, laughing, stepped across something on the ground and mounted a black stone; when she looked down, she thought it was Rand's body he had stepped over, laid out on a funeral bier with his hands crossed at his breast, but when she touched his face, it broke apart like a paper puppet
Carlinya
No clue to how this was fulfilledAn image of a raven floating beside her dark hair; more a drawing of the bird than the bird itself (TFoH, Ch. 26)
Carlinya is believed killed and Brandon Sanderson has confirmed this was not a mistake. It is either yet to be fulfilled, or has been met in an unexpected way
Narishma
Well, he lived, but not sure what following after he has done or will doWho draws it (Callandor) out shall follow after
Perrin
Well, Faile being queen of Saldaea does for the first one, but the second is less clear (though a more detailed read may explain)Broken crown, Trees around him flowering
Sarene
I can't remember if she lived, I thought she was taken by Graendal, but another thing I'll need a second read forA tempestuous love affair
Seanchhan
They collared some, but didn't use them against the White TowerThe Seanchan, too, of women in dresses with lightning bolts woven on their breasts, collaring a long line of women who wore the Great Serpent rings, forcing them to call lightning against the White Tower (TDR, Ch. 25)
