@Rabbott85... I've been reading the Dark Prophecy at the end of ToM:
"Yea, and the Broken Wolf, the one whom Death has known, shall fall and be consumed by the Towers of Midnight..."
I actually believe that this is a reference to Hopper instead of Perrin (the Fallen Blacksmith). The basis of this is simple:
1: The One-Eyed Fool is obviously Mat, and the First Among Vermin is Rand (breaking the seals to re-open the Bore), and the Fallen Blacksmith is Perrin. The reference to the Broken Wolf seems more a reference to another person.
2: Of the 3 Ta'Veren, Mat and Rand have both known Death (Rand as LTT), but Perrin has not. Hopper did, however.
Admittedly, I haven't found a solid reason why Hopper's death should impact the masses indicated in the dark prophecy, but the 2 points raised about Perrin above are still sound.
Another factor to consider is the "Blacksmith's Pride"; this statement doesn't fit what we know of Perrin at all. He is humble to a fault. If anything, his pride came into play when he relinquished his unwillingness to lead and accepted his roll as the Leader of a unique coalition.
The again, remember that the Dark Prophecy and Prophecies of the light cannot both be correct.
