Cersei has always been about herself and the power she can wield. She's standing on the top of the forefront of the castle wall, along with all her advisors/allies. She is in direct harm if she unleashes hell.
All she was trying to do was provoke Danyerys to do what Cersei had always wanted her to do: make Dany the enemy by having her slaughtering innocents in an attempt to get at her for revenge.
The writing may not be as sharp as it was, but it seems to be out of grasp for a solid section of fans.
