First off a signal strength of -28 or -30 is like someone screaming in your face, kind of impolite. Someone mentioned in the recent past that a customer with -55 needed to be toned down to B from G because of how close they were and the link was significantly better. I wouldn't expect it's part of your problem, though.
It looks to me that LACP isn't doing it's job (or whatever device is supposed to make them redundant). You often see this problem when you plug a switch into a switch or a layer 2 device into another layer 2 device, creating a loop. In your case it starts on one side, goes through the link, bounces in the switch and out the other link and vice versa and repeats indefinitely.
