He made it to where they would be outraged so they would fight Yunalesca. To me that's shady.
Maybe he wouldn't pass an ethics exam, but he did what he had to do in order to get the job done. It's not like he dragged Yuna or anyone else along the way. He was persuasive, yes, but everyone had a choice. And the reason they fought Yunalesca is because Yuna refused to sacrifice one of her friends, and everyone knew that had they proceeded with the normal road, Sin would just reappear. I think

If you think Auron wanted revenge against Yunalesca, I think you misread his intentions.

Think about how much he had been through. Ten years ago he was an idealistic youth who ends up losing what became the two people closest to him- Braska and Jecht. His initial reaction was revenge (understandably). Remember, Braska's party had to learn the hard lesson about the final aeon too, which is why I think Auron wanted a way to end the cycle. He knew that if he could show the party what was really going on, they would see the light, which they did.

...I don't think my ideas are very pointed, but hopefully you get my meaning.
