If I had the choice to kill both that fool Caridin and Branka, I would have without hesitation and given the anvil to the Legion if they knew how to operate it.
Now I trusted that Branka would provide golems to fight the Blight because it does seem that her main priority is the darkspawn threat, and if the Blight isn't defeated, her race would become very vulnerable to extinction. I personally did not get the impression that she wants power, in the sense of making her want to conquer Orzammar. She really doesn't give a damn about that and we see in the epilogue, she doesn't even try to overthrow the weakling fool Harrowmont.
But it's not clear, and I took a risk. Just like those who destroy the anvil also take a risk, in thinking that the golems might not be necessary. It ends up depending on preference and perspective to think which outweighs which.
Yeah, it's one of those descisions that logically could be decided evenly either way. MY DC, Julia, as you know, took that risk to keep the anvil, having to make an unusual leap of faith that Branka would remain true to her word, and that Bhelen would be too busy goleming his political enemies to pick on the casteless. That risk, in that case, was overshadowed by the need to save one's people from extinction.
I found the descision to keep the anvil far easier with dwarven characters, since they are the ones on the brink, hanging on desperately against tide after tide of darkspawn. Where as my surfacer characters, not really having ever dealt with or felt the urgency that the darkspawn present, were less willing to make such calculated risks and leaps of faith, and thus, destroyed it, though my blood mage kept it (because she was Branka's #1 fan).
