I think from Merlin's perspective, he should have revealed his secret to her because it would have probably made her side with him in his magical adventures as oppose to the evil (Morgause, Mordred, Alvarr; etc).

I am pleased that Morgana didn't find out Merlin had magic/was Emrys in Series 1, 2, 3 & 4. The problem was, I thought Morgana found out who Emrys was too early. One of the general themes of Series 4 was Morgana knowing of Emrys' existence, and her trying to eliminate him before he eliminates her - and every story set around an entire season has a start, a middle and an end, and there was no end to that story and it was very disappointing as some of the great events we saw that were building up in the 13 episodes got flushed down the toilet. Ultimately I thought the producers were inpatient with the Morgana/Emrys thing. Morgana should have found out that Emrys existed in the Series 4 finale, so we could see her and Emrys oppose each other throughout Series 5, and it turning out with an epic conclusion. Those are my thoughts.
