The thing that doesn't have to do with the ending being clever, or having holes. Is that the ending pretty much discards the current elizabeths relationship(and the best thing about the game imo) current relationship booker for the sake of a twist (albeit good twist), and there is never really a conclusion between the two characters that you grew with during the story because elizabeth after the siphon is destroyed becomes omnipressent and that's the last you see of the elizabeth that you grew with, so to me it was emotionally unsatisfying.

You're supposed to be happy, because booker gets reunited with his daughter, but that universe existed before the game, and that booker isn't the booker that was with you during the game.

I suppose, yeah, the ending had a bit of that bitter feel you get when some too clever writer pulls the "it was all a dream" twist. 

I personally don't look it as a dream. Because all the events in the game did happen (and in fact multiple times), it's not like you did all the things in the game for nothing. The difference is that Comstock, Columbia and adult Elizabeth will no longer exist in any other dimension, which in itself is very sad.
