The wickedly sad part is that I think if Dean had been in there, Sam wouldn't have had the fake!Dean hallucination (if he'd had any of them at all), and then he wouldn't have been so trigger happy about the "monster" comment and wouldn't have A) strangled Dean and B) given up hope after listening to the voicemail. Which doesn't absolve Sam in the slightest, but since Show hinged those two very crucial moments on the fake!Dean hallucination and then tweaked Dean's character to keep him from going in, I'm just sort of wincing over the plot hole. All I would have needed right then is some confirmation on Dean's part that seeing Sam in that condition right after watching him slurp down blood like a raspberry daiquiri was just Too Much for him to process right then, but we didn't get that. We got worried, quietly freaking out Dean (as well I'd expect!) but not one that would go see Sam.
Unless it really was the guilt that kept him from going in.
Yeah, the angel theory makes me supremely uncomfortable. The other idea I can tie into that is perhaps the hallucinations were actually Sam's (they did fit in perfectly with his own inner fears and desires) but they read his mind after the fact to better craft the voicemail of doom.
