Interesting meta about that conversation. I agree with most of what you said, but one thing caught my eye:
Dean has a problem with it only because it's a psychic thing, and that scares him. Oh, and because Castiel said so.
I don't think Dean has a problem with it simply because an angel said 'It's bad!' (why would he care for an angels opinion?), but because they freaking threatened to kill Sam, if he didn't stop using his powers! ('If you won't stop him, we will.') I think that's enough to take their 'opinion' seriously.
Of course I also think Dean finds having demon powers monstrous and freakish, something that's disgusting and hideous. I guess for him it was kinda like waking up one morning and finding out his brother is actually a cockroach and not a human being...
