These are my theories: First season was Gold (the mafia boss) and The Dark One in flashbacks. with a very few hints of Rumple in Storybrooke.

The second and third season was a mix between the three personalities (Gold, TDO and Rumple). Rumple finally "won" in the end.

I think when he said "You shouldn't have brought me back" he's Rumple in the body of Rumple/Gold (he's using the same outfit in 3x11), but he was resurrected by Zelena, so know he's crazy and traumatised (and he doesn't have powers) and he thinks that he's still TDO.

Or he's really TDO but using Rumple/Gold's body.

Anyway, watch Bobby's face with TDO voice and acting was fuc**** disturbing. Love it.
