Well, aren't most of these people wizards? And wizardry involves the study of necromancy. And Vlad states in Athyra that unconstrained Dark Water can be used to extend the life of a necromancer (and ergo, any Wizard). Additionally, Telnan states in /Dzur/ that Wizardry can be used to combine the effects of different arcane disciplines to achieve greater results than any single discipline alone. 

Put together this might indicate that Wizards have the ability to extend their lives magically through the use of dark water and/or other heretofore undiscovered means.

For examples such as Arra and The Warlock, I can only surmise that there is some parallel to this dark water ability in Witchcraft.
