I have an answer. Besides the "protect my heart spell" gibberish, he's an addict and no matter how much it hurts, he'll always do it.

I actually buy it and think that only his love for Bae ever had a chance to save him. Maybe what Merlin said will come to pass! That one day somebody will controll the Darkness. In a way Rumple changed and the man becoming the Dark One this time is diffrent. Plus, his new child with Belle will change him again.
