I do think that Regina is the one to blame for casting the DC. But Regina was raised with the idea that power is everything (she didn't always believe that.) But when Snow told Cora of her and Daniel and Cora killed him, Regina gave into what her mother told her and she blamed Snow. This is however no excuse for Regina holding on to her anger and acting out of hate and vengance. I also think that Rumple pushed her to cast the DC, he was maipulating her. So it's partly Cora's fault for trying to forced her daughter to be that what she never could be, it's partly Rumple's fault for manipulating her and pushing her in the right direction, but mostly it's Regina's fault for not letting go of her anger. Rumple and Cora made Regina who she was, but it was her choice what to with that. I am happy that she does make the right choices now, because she is one of my favourite characters.
