"He has to be there, or else something bad will happen" clearly implies that Perrin's presence must be required. Rand was not at all affected by Perrin on Dragonmount. To begin with, Perrin was in T'A'R while Rand was in the real world, so that's a huge barrier.
If Perrin had actually touched Rand, or had reached out to him mentally, that would be one thing, but it seems clear that he was there as an observer so we could see something amazing happen (and so that Perrin would know to trust Rand).

When Perrin and Rand are together, the fireflies hold off the darkness in Min's viewings. When Rand was on DM, Perrin saw darkness, descirbed as oure evil, consuming him. The dark aura had almost completly covered Rand but then Perrin came closer and shouted out to him, willing him not to give in. This was enough to hold the darkness at bay and give Rand enough time to have his epiphany, shown by the sudden tiny beam of light in the middle of the maelstrom which then grew and shook off the dark. If Perrin hadn't been there to give his support the DO's evil would have completely taken Rand over.

Second time Perrin must be there for Rand vs Two times Aes Sedai may hurt him

Don't like this since Perrin is FINALLY in the same room as Rand. One should happen now *NM*

I'm still of the opinion that Rand is headed towards the same disaster LTT did

I wonder if Sanderson's division of this story into two books affected this plot
