It seems clear that if the dagger is destroyed and Mr. Gold dies, Rumple would lose his immortality which means he may also die meaning he is connected to the dagger.

It is a different case to Emma and Killian being the dark ones because the wish copied the darkness out of Mr. Gold and creates Wish Rumple. So it is Rumplestilskin/Mr. Gold/Weaver/Rumplestilskin (Wish Realm) as the current host.
