I guess she COULD have just gone off on Ruby, but what she did at the end wasn't much better. It's not hard to see what she's doing when she says that she has those qualities at the end of the episode: she's making a statement that she believes that she would make a better huntress, if not a better leader, than Ruby would. It's right back to when she told Ruby "I'm still leagues better than you."

And that's what I mean on her going backwards in development. The stuff with her and the girls in the beginning of the episode was good, and maybe if we had seen Weiss manage to contain herself at the end of the episode, it would give more of a feeling that she IS trying to be a better person. Right now, though, it just feels like she's let her dislike towards Ruby get the better of her yet again, like it has every single time except for episode 8. It feels like the conversation between her and Ruby never happened last episode, and that's what got to me this episode.

Though, I could just be looking too deeply into this. It wouldn't be the first time I've done so.
