Yeah, that fandom preference of an infallible Dean really irritates me. It's one of the first things that makes me quite reading a fic.
I think you're right, 'Dean knows best' exists in fandom more than in canon, just that Dean calls Sam and Cas on more stuff than they call on him, so it can seem like that sometimes. But sometimes fandom really effects how I see canon and I can't take the fandom goggles off (probably why I avoid wincest fics so much. I don't want them to ruin brother-love for me).
Hahaha, piss off the Deangirls :D I think you're right about this season addressing Dean issues. There's a breaking point, I suspect.
Of course you don't hate Dean! They boys are just (mostly) human. I love them all, but I know they fuck up and they're certainly not perfect. If they were, I'd hate the show. Can you imagine if we met Sam and Dean in real life? I'd probably hate their emo, codependent asses, LOL.
