I also think, thar the old Regina would have thrown a fireball right in Emmas's face, this Regina told Emma, that she never thought about consequences, and she is right. It doesn't seemed like a threat to me the way Regina said it. And moreso, she said, that she hopes Emma haven't brought anything else with her, that is not the sentence I would use if I'm close to jump in someone's face. I don't think that using the one source of magic more often than not rules you out for using the other source entirely. You might favor one intention because you learned to or your nature tells you so (eg being the Dark One). Rumple used his magicial powers to heal his Henry's burns (208 -Into the Deep). I always imagined that healing is a form of light magic as well.

However, Regina had to go a big step towards light magic in order to match with and defeat her sister Zelena. It took both Henry's and Robin's great love and encouragement so that Regina  finally believed in herself and was able to change. Believing in something is the first step that you can actually change.

In the final we saw that Robin turned away from Regina focussing on Marian (I'm not the one to blame him for doing that). Emma -  though not intentionally - took away one part of Regina's support. Regina is hurt in that moment and feels anger towards Emma. I think Regina wants to express that Emma destroyed much  of Regina's happiness bringing Marian back. In my opinion, ''heartbroken Regina doesn't feel like fixing anything else Emma did. Regina is done with suffering from decisions others made.''

Parilla said in an interview that she believes that old habits die hard. So, there might be at least some fights between Emma and Regina, I guess. I hope not too much, though, because that was something I didn't like about Season Two.
