*snort* Yeah, that’s so OOC. Let’s see. Dean decided he’d rather die with Sam than live without him in Croatoan. He sold his soul to bring Sam back in All Hell Breaks Loose Part 2. He went to the battle between Michael and Lucifer in Swan Song because he wasn’t going to let Sam die alone. He had a sketchy doctor kill in in Appointment in Samarrah to get Sam’s soul back. He left the doors of hell open in Sacrifice because he couldn’t live without Sam. He killed Death to save Sam in Brother’s Keeper. And this season, he killed himself to bargain with a reaper for Sam in Red Meat and tried to die alongside him in Don’t Call Me Shurley.
Clearly sacrificing himself to save Sam is actually a key component of Dean. Sounds to me like certain people don’t like that particular characteristic of Dean’s so they want to pretend it’s out of character for reasons.
