Because it triggers from both cycling a card as well as when you discard a card, due to the cost/resolution of cycling making you discard the card as part of the effect, is there something I'm missing that prevents the survivor from triggering its ability twice every time you cycle?
Maybe I missed a rules update but it really does seem pretty clear cut that it triggers twice.
There was an update to the rules about cycling with Amonkhet which clarifies what this wording means. It triggers only once.
702.28d. Some cards have abilities that trigger whenever a player "cycles or discards" a card. These abilities trigger only once when a card is cycled.

I'm a former judge (lapsed), who keeps up to date on rules and policy. Keep in mind that judges' answers aren't necessarily more valid than those of people who aren't judges; what matters is we can quote the rules to back up our answers. When in doubt, ask for such quotes.

Need to be more onto it and read up on the rules
