I can't see Phillip sacrificing Aurora's heart to cast the curse, especially when you consider how ready he was to hand himself over to the Wraith to ensure Mulan and Aurora were safe.

Plus, the men in OUaT are usually quite noble and Phillip would probably feel that their child should be raised by it's Mother.

Speaking of those Mulan and Aurora, if Phillip is dead, they're free to be together in the future. Not that I am entirely sure I want that but it could happen.
