I would not say that it is an outright rip off. I believe (correct me if I am wrong) that Robert Jordan is taking all our myths (Tolkien, Auther, Norse, Greek, etc.) and combining them into one big "supermyth." He wants symilarities because they catch the reader. Believe me if you read all of them you will see he is vastly different than Tolkien and an incredable writer in his own right.
