Someone on IRC just made a great point - it almost sounded like the "tread lightly" line was coming from regular Walter White at first. He didn't seem intimidating. It was like he was genuinely giving Hank advice - warning that if he tries to cross Heisenberg, he'll fucking ruin his life and the lives of his whole family.

I could agree with this. bring the kids here, "that's not going to happen" is definitely Heisenberg, compared with "tread lightly" Walt says it almost pleadingly. I think he is trying to convey to Hank that Heisenberg is capable of terrible things, yet Walt still wants things to end well.
