When you look at  Cora's death there are a lot of parallels and even some symbolism. The death of Regina's parents, she rips out her fathers heart and put a Poisoned one into her mother. Her father whos heart only expressed love for his daughter and her mother who expressed no love because she put it somewhere else from where it was supposed to be. Cora killed Snow's mother and then Regina kills Snow's father. Cora also got her wish to some degree too (although I not really sure and if someone else can clarify this, that would be apprciated) but She whispered to a dead Eva that she was going to turn Snow's heart as black as coal. Cora's soul was made pure but she had almmost metiphorically poisoned herself too, by taking out her heart. She doesn't keep her deals or alters them so much that the promised party does not get their end and because of this it ended her life. The two dissapionted parties Cpt. Hook and Rumple. Hook because he was denied his vengence so he went after rumple, in so soing Rumple was dying and apperently the only way to save him was to kill Cora. I  still feel that YUP, tricking regina to kill her mother was the wrong on many accounts. but also snows defense stuck between a hard place and a rock. It was either kill cora or protect her family, in so doing she sacrificed the purity of her heart to place the poison of guilt in its place  (which is clearly written all over her face). Which probaly means she would be very willing to have regina take her heart to stop the blood shed. Which is slightly ironic because it also shows that in any broken promise or lie that she may do, that ends in death  that revolves around Regina she is willing to die for her actions. (circumstances which noramally involve the protection of others as well.)
