I think he just had the potential for evil the same as anyone else, and the conditions were right for it to manifest itself. He was angry and felt helpless, so he felt tempted by the dagger's power.

Overall a disturbing yet a the same time interesting episode. Rumple logic: If someone does it on your behalf, it doesn't really count. No wonder he's so messed up.
