Yes, he is dead. It was said there was gonna be a permanent death in the finale, that's him. The apprentice's death is NOT confirmed. while odds are that he is dead, the finale did leave open the possibility that he is not dead yet.  I am taking what was said about the permanent death with a huge grain of salt.

I just thought about this, if he isn't dead yet, he is gonna die soon: he knows too many things, he already talked about Merlin being able to take care of the darkness, he would be too much of a deus ex machina. The heroes need to figure out the rest by themselves.

That's the same reason they kept him inside the hat for a whole season.
