something is wrong, isn't it? most are dead, and what does that "age" field really mean?

I'm using latest cgminer 2.2.1 on my miner, with I 7 (intensity) and just p2pool, I have a failover pool, to be honest, but with

Code:

"failover-only" : true

inside cgminer.conf.

Any idea?

best regards.

Your dead share rates seems rather excessive, I haven't had any dead shares myself for two weeks almost (I've only got fairly slow miner though).
I've had bad experience with mixing traditional pool and p2pool with cgminer. Not sure what the logic behind it is, but in my case it ended up using long polling connection to traditional pool while doing work for p2pool. Since the polling cycle on p2pool is a lot faster than normal pools this leads to (possibly very) high stale/dead shares.
Normally you will see 'LONGPOLL requested work restart..' every couple of seconds with p2pool. If you're not seeing that, it might be this long polling issue. I'd try with just one pool configured.
Second thing I'd look at is if the host running your p2pool daemon is not too overloaded.
