Rumple tries being a hero and he never gets what he wants, so why change. Gold did not want to change, and made that very clear. His "good side" was always a manipulation. Besides, the Dark Swan forced him to a "hero". One good deed does not make someone a hero. It was perfectly in-character for Rumplestiltskin to become the Dark One again. He told Emma that he would stop her, and this is how he did it.
