Was anyone else a bit disappointed with Moridin?

The past few books have hinted at his power, and his machinations, but he really had nothing to show for himself. His entire plan was basically to win the confrontation with Rand at Shayol Ghul. In principle, Moridin is the only true follower of the DO, but you would think he would have tried a bit harder to dethrone Rand earlier on.

Instead, he gave the other Forsaken a few orders here and there, with little effect, and seemingly just to satisfy his pride and show off his Nae'blis-ness.
