The whole story hinges on that fact that standing at the cracks of mount doom no man, dwarf, elf, or hobbit could have resisted the rings power. I sincerly doubt that Gandalf intended to walk up to mount doom toss in the ring and turn around. I always believed he planned to cross that bridge when he came to it. It's amazing Frodo held on as long as he did.

ps Faramir is an odd case but I am sure there are countless threads devoted to him and the ring so I wont get into it.
