When Lews Therin said that something had to be used to touch the Dark One, I immediately thought of the True Power. What Rand could possibly do is touch the Dark One with the True Power and seal him away with saidin/saidar. That way, if the Dark One strikes back again, he'll strike the True Power and not the One Power.
I'm not sure what the significance is of Rand's statement that he's going to slay the Dark One. RJ said he could destroy the DO with balefire but it would also destroy the world. Of course, if Rand uses the True Power then maybe his counterstroke will injure himself. Who knows?

don't forget you can't touch the true power without the DO's permission

I think he will overlook it

It also might be that Rand used Moridin as a conduit, making the DO's permission irrelevant.

Indeed... Moridin is definitely worried about the connection

i agree it was def in the DO's best interests to give it to rand THEN, just not when....

Seems to me destroying the DO with balefire would take a force equal to his.

I think the TP IS the DO - sealing the Bore with it is illogical and impossible.

The Foresaken had their permission revoked, but the DO can enact consequences on them...
