Absolutely, Steph! Again, it's Sam that is fighting to reach out to Cas, and Dean who is so absolutely devastated that Cas chose this and he can't bear to reach out to him, completely blinded by betrayal that it colours everything. Sam doesn't have that well of emotion or connection that's been betrayed, so it's easier for him to seek rectitude. Sam doesn't have that thin line.
It's all about the coat.

Because books.
But Cas isn't his brother, Julie. And yeah, he thought Cas was dead, but he's lost everything, always. He expects it on some level. And he still needed to find Sam.
I think he was justifiably angry in a lot of ways -- when it comes to humanity, he does know more than Cas, and he's also been fighting the kind of dirty ground war Cas was involved in for a lot longer than Cas had been. He's not the type to drop to his knees and weep.
What you want the characters to do is not always going to be in what they will do, because the writers *do* try to keep them in character. Dean was raised on "I know best" and held onto it for dear life, because it was job to keep Sam safe. It was as much a front as anything, but it's what he knows to do. He has to believe he's right, too, because no one else is going to. He has no one looking out for him.

eta: agreeing with Amy
He has to act like he knows he's right, even when he doesn't know if he's right. See: brave front for Sam before the phone call in HOME.

Not until this moment. Whoa.
eta: That means Ben Browder and Claudia Black have an obligation to guest star, right?

And if they're heading in a Farscape direction that means the cast will be dressing in head-to-toe black leather, right?

Okay, that was FUN. Yay, crazy!Cas! Creepy and wrong!
God!Cas' hit list was great. Also, Death may be my favorite SPN character. Other than Missouri.
