Is it worth it? I have all the DLC for Origins (Well, except for GOA), but I want to know if I should get this one too.

I haven't played it, but it's basically a combat DLC and an Alternate Universe (so not a canon campaign). Some people said they have been unable to finish it because it requires that you fight the Warden's companions, and killing them felt unbearable.
You get the fight as the darkspawn though. So if you like combat and don't mind having no story, you'll probably like it.

GoA, while not much of a story, still exists as a canon addition to the main campaign, and while the plot is as linear as a ruler,, the addition to the lore and challenge are pretty good. And yes, it is difficult, if you're going to do it, it would behoove you to import some of the awesome awakening gear to equip your companions with, as theirs really sucks.
But DSC? I never bought it, and frankly, never had the urge, because a ridiculous and unlikely AU with no development or real plot isn't that interesting to me.

I bought DSC and wow, do I feel like crap now 
But I guess it was fun for what it was, ya know. But I still feel bad for killing all my companions. Especially Sam (Mabari ; Or Barkspawn according to the DLC)

Well, I'd get GoA if I were you. IMO it's a great 'horror' story, and probably one of the better DLCs of the Dragon Age Franchise.

Get GOA first because completing the achievements give you 3 really good items for Origins and Awakening, although one of them requires beating the final boss on Hard, who is the hardest boss in all of the games. Import a good rogue though and you should be able to do it. Got him on my 2nd try using imported 25 DW rogue. If you want to get the DSC after that, it has an interesting new mechanic to it, is somewhat fun, and you get a really good sword for beating it.

I am not a big fan of Darkspawn Chronicles. But I suppose it is an eye-opening look at things from the other side of the battle lines.
Good to have for the sake of completeness, perhaps.

Darkspawn Chronicles was ok, though it certainly plays different with the group you're stuck with.
I've gotten used to having a tank who has high defense/armor and can shrug off most damage, as well as a healer with all of the heal spells and force field for emergencies. In DSC, you don't really get to level up your characters, though with approval, your hurlock vanguard does get boosts to their stats. If you recruit a hurlock emissary, they only have the one heal spell, and health poultices are limited.
Given the lack of customization that I had over my party, and the fact that I couldn't import my pimped-out warden, I found DSC to be much more challenging than Golems of Amgarrak, and that's with DSC on normal difficulty and GoA on nightmare. I may have found it to be easier with multiple playthroughs, but I had little motivation to play it more than once. I got the achievements during the first run, saw the ending and unlocked Blightblood. Not much more to see or do.
