If this were season one, I would agree with you 100%. But right now, the show is telling me that Dean wants to save other people, but I see him treating people as disposable: compare his concern for Meg (the human girl) in S1 with his complete lack of concern for the woman possessed by a demon in last night's episode. Granted, he cares for Sam, but it's not necessarily a healthy kind of caring.
I'm particularly concerned, at this point, by the violence Dean shows towards women and creatures which look like women. I remember being able to say, wholeheartedly, "Dean loves women!" but right now, that's not based on what I see on screen. It's based on my memories of what Dean was like in S1. This may be the evolution of the character, or it may be sloppy writing, but as of now, this is a guy whose hands are very, very dirty.
