Is Loghain's motivation ever revealed in the game? I had Allister kill him during the landsmeet but I understand he can become a party member. Does he explain his actions? Because quite frankly, considering his character history, his behavior (especially the regicide) seemed very out of character.
Also, side question. If your character is a human noble, can he become king?
Loghain's motivation (end game spoilers)

He did not think it was a blight, he thought the King was way to trusting of Grey Wardens, and he didn't want Orlais's army in Fereldan, which the King wanted their help. He got so paranoid he went crazy pretty much, that's about as much as he explains.
It fits in character, especially if you take into account all the (what I thought anyways) hints that Arl Howe has been manipulating him.

To answer your side question - Yes, marry Anora and you can become king. Only if you're a Human Noble, though.

If you keep him alive, you can understand him more. And it's clear that he feels genuine regret, even if he is too proud to admit it. But even still, he is not explained that well. Even Anora, his daughter cannot understand him, and blaims Howe for the change. Which I think is an easy way out.
In general, his motivation is:
- Cailan is an idiotic king, which is true.
- He seeks to bring foreign forces in Ferelden, especially from Orlais, with no guarantee that they leave.
- It's not even certain that there was a blight. Imagine if you had called foreign forces to your land to fight the blight, but it ends up there was no blight in the first place. How do you make them leave?
That's how I understood Loghain and I have to say, his initial judgement is politically sound. His political actions however are excessive.
I had wished that they explain Loghain better. But I was very glad Bioware let us spare him.

He's deeply paranoid, that's more or less all the explanation really needed, insane behaviour doesn't conform to logical standards. They might have explained why he turned into a madman, but justifying his actions in any way that is completely understandable is simply not possible.
