No, Morgana succeeded. She ended the Pendragon magic-hating dynasty once and for all. I was not so sad to see Morgana dying as well, because if the producers redeemed her I am sure they would do it very unbelievably. She died as a fantastic, tragic heroine. And she was awesome, throughout all five seasons. Arthur may died knowing Morgana can cause no harm, but he died knowing that his bloodline ends too. I doubt he was happy in his last moments. I wish he was, for what is important is that Morgana achieved what she wanted. She wanted Arthur dead; she had what she wished for.

And no, Morgana won't be tormented for eternity. She is magic, like Merlin, and so she will live eternally, not be sent to the afterlife like Uther. She could join the Disir court, or become one of the incarnations of the Triple Goddess. Knowing how she is the last of her kind, though, the Old Religion and magic itself will be forgotten. Merlin's the only alive magical being.
