I don't think she learned black magic from Rumple. I see Maleficent as a stronger person. She is a dark fairy after all so she probably already had much knowledge of both light and dark magic, but specialized in the dark type. However the dragon curse does sound interesting, but maybe her dragon transformation could have something to do with Flora, Fauna and Merryweather (or the twelve fairies if they are going to use that version).
