I think where this really came to a turning point was at the dinner party where Walt got drunk and didn't want to give credit to Gale for being Heisenburg. He could have let the DEA think that Heisenburg was dead and all the heat on him would have disappeared, but he let his ego get in the way of a golden opportunity.
After that, there was the epic rant you mentioned, and then finally when he blew up Gus, the "I won" phone call where he could barely contain his joy and was proud of himself.

Yeah, by the end of season 3, Walt is a real anti-hero, slightly despicable character. Arguably, he's like that after the first couple of episodes, but this is a tv show and not real life.
By the end of season 4 he is clearly a villain.
