Good point which I never thought of.  It brings to mind what he said to 
Pacey at his 16th birthday, something like Pacey's life was supposed to 
be awful so the he, Dawson, could fell better about his own.

LOL!  On the other hand, couldn't you just argue that this was Dawson's 
better nature coming out?  Maybe he was growing up?

I'm pretty sure I heard in the DVD commentary that indeed it was a D-J 
finale first but then he changed it.  I will check this again.  Anyway, 
the cut scene between Pacey and Andie in the hospital made me really 
wish TPTB had been able to get them back together as they seemed so 
natural (there's that word) togther, but schedules are schedules.
