Walter names the dark side of himself Heisenberg in Season 1 when meeting with Tuco for the first time. In my opinion, Heisenberg was always a metaphor for Walts degrading morality, not somebody he was becoming. Walter always had a little Heisenberg in him, even in the pilot. In season 5 when Walter is at his most ruthless, he still has a little Walter White in him.
I would say the peak of "Heisenberg" was in s5e13 when he was plotting Jesse's death. Walter gets cuffed in this episode, but only for Hank to be surprised by Jack and his men. In the following episode Hank faces death by the hands of Jack and Walt offers all of his money to save Hank before revealing its location. To me, this is one of the most Walter White-esque gestures in the entirety of the series.
All I'm saying is Walter has never been totally good or totally bad, just like no human being can be totally good or totally bad. He may have been an evil piece of shit but he had good qualities and deep down he cared about his family, even Hank, who wanted him rotting in a jail cell.
