That "You don't wanna face the Dark One when there's no one else at home" was creepy has hell. Did you remember season one, when Gold was the calm mafia boss, or Rumple, when he was nuts? The DO is EVEN MORE? I wanna see that! I want to see it as well. I think it's more like this. The Dark One needs a host and the power tends to push the host towards darkness and hen once the darkness overtakes the host the Dark One does too. So, it starts off symbiotic, but becomes parasitic as the darkness grows.
