Oh, I loved reading this. You so helped me tilt my head a different direction.
We know that Cas did what he did because he felt he was worthless and that the only way he could redeem himself was to sacrifice himself. It is exactly how Sam felt in Season 9. He felt that he wasn't worth saving, and that the only way he could make up for his faults was by killing himself to save others. Cas stopped him in First Born. He made that little speech about how if he could change, a Winchester could change too. And now it's Sam's turn to stop Cas from doing this.
This would be fantastic if it ends up being true. A true turn of character development.
As to Cas being different from the usual Cas
For me, it wasn't even so much that he was different from his 'usual' self...he was different from the self we saw a few episodes ago who stopped Lucifer from killing Sam. It was as though he was totally disconnected from any sort of reality, which in the one before he was VERY connected - up to and including making sure Sam knew Lucifer was pulling one over on them. So, I'm just waiting to see what they're doing with Cas - I'm sure it will have a purpose and flow, but I don't quite see it yet.
It would take something special to wake him up and make him realize that he is not useless, and he is worth saving.
Seems like this could be applied to all our guys, y'know? To some degree at least.
