That's definitely an indication that she's only using this opportunity to take whatever power she can get from Castiel as some kind of insurance. That's what she does, using and abusing others but in a sly manipulative manner, and what better way by taking advantage of a broken angel who isn't mentally in his right mind?
It's gonna backfire, of course. Horribly. Hopefully with smiting consequences.
Could be the suppressed, broken part of Castiel speaking. Could be Ben Edlund. Could be Misha. Or maybe a combination of all three.
Certainly a combination. How can it not be? Particularly the last two, since both Edlund and Misha care deeply about Castiel. It shined light on not only the unfair treatment of Castiel, but the double standards featured concerning the Winchesters. The show has been placing them on a high moral pedestal which is unrealistic to how they are portrayed, sometimes I wonder if the show is even aware they're doing it or if they even care because they haven't shown the boys acknowledging or learning from it. Even after certain characters call them out on their bullshit.
Here, Edlund made sure there was more to it than that; Castiel with the Sorry game, showing how much he apologizes yet neither Sam nor Dean have reciprocated. After Dean knocks over the Sorry game Castiel kneels down and picks up the pieces -- demonstrating that not only after every single time Castiel apologizes Dean dismisses it or gets angry, but that Castiel always has to clean up these messes for the boys. That line of "Always happy to bleed for the Winchesters" is an obvious snark at how they've been treating Castiel over these last two seasons that I just can't imagine anyone missing the intention of such a line. The fact that they ask him to sacrifice for them, doing their bidding, and while they never do the same for him when he needs help the most Castiel always does it. He always sacrifices himself for them.
It's almost painful seeing these things come to light. We all knew about it, but the way Edlund just brutally places these things into the episode, making it loud and clear, makes it even more heartbreaking. The fact it took this long for this shit to get called out on is a real damn shame because they could have dealt with it all season long, all last season too, without all these ridiculous fillers. Such a damn waste, really. We could have had all these amazing character explorations, but the show decided to wait until the last second to deal with them.
(I'm saying this as someone who hasn't watched the episode, but knows enough from the ~feels of tumblr gifs and people pointing it out and talking about it)
