      I have a LAGG setup from two NIC ports that feed two separate managed switches (DGS-1210-24) that each feed into a server that ultimately bonds the connections from both switches.

      I cannot, for the life of me, figure out the proper LAGG/LACP setup and centos NIC bonding modes

      Here is the setup I have in a stupid picture:

      Gateway1
                NIC1    NIC2
                    \        /
                    LAGG0                –-Mode?
                    /       
        DLINK1p24  DLINK2p24    ---Mode?
                    \        /
                    BOND0                ---Mode?
                    /       
                NIC1    NIC2
                    Server1

      I tried:
      LAGG0 - LACP(802.3ad)
      DLINK 1 and DLINK2 - LACP(802.3ad) - Port Trunking sw1p24 <--> sw2p24
      BOND0 - Mode 4 - (802.3ad)

      Does not work. I pull the plug on the first switch and all traffic halts and then starts doing weird stuff like 20000ms response time and so forth. Any ideas?!?!

        Unless those switches are stacked, and support spanning LAGs across the stack, this will not work.

        Setup a LAG from GW to sw1 p1 & p2, then setup a second LAG from sw1 p3 & p4 to your Server.  Configure swtich 2 the same way, set it on the shelf as a spare for switch 1.
