So in so far as it's selfish brattery, I think it's just the way he's always been.
Well, he's done a good job of pretending to have some human-eske emotions the last two seasons.
He just didn't seem to taking anyone's feelings into consideration, and I include Reinette here. Because if he'd given Rose a chance to say, "Go save her," she would have. We know she would have. And he could have done something to reassure poor Mickey that he wasn't being left to die. And he could have, I don't know, gone back to Reinette in the flipping TARDIS instead of the fireplace, so that Reinette didn't spend the rest of her life waiting for him to come back.
