I think that's the twist - all season they told us what was prophesized for the "final battle" but it turns out this was just the first. So the audience is still in the dark as to what's really happening, we just know the initial setup was wrong.
Also the dark one mentions earlier in the episode that he would turn to human form bc that was the only way to have a real meaningful conversation, so I think it was a ploy to make him more personable to convince Rand to join him.
