When you solder on Deans plugs make sure and have them "plugged in"(both halves together).They distort very easily and having the other half on there keeps them aligned so they wont be hard to plug in when you are done.I always put the pos on the fat side and the neg on the skinny side.

I was also thinking about clipping an aluminum "alligator" style heat sink to each terminal on the other side, to draw away excess heat. Would this draw too much heat and be counterproductive while soldering?

I don't think it would make much difference.I have plugged them into one that was already installed on a battery or speed control before and not had any problems but I think it is probably more important to just get it done as quickly as possible and get the heat off of it.
