Standard rubber brake lines don't generally fail, it can happen but more likely is that they become soft and you lose braking performance. Pulsing through the lever although normally indicates a fucked disc can be the sidewalls of the rubber lines starting to give and although difficult to explain its a different sensation of pulsing that a warped disc would give.
I have had a set of braided lines let go on me, they where fitted by a previous owner of the bike that I owned at the time and must have been twisted to get them to fit, this caused the outer braiding to split and the inner pipe to pop out like a hernia and burst. This is why I now only use the braided lines and the ends swivel to stop the twisting of the lines under installation.
