That's just it though, I don't think Dumbledore expected anyone
to become the Master of the Elder Wand. I think he intended to
die undefeated, and therefore the last and final Master of the
Elder Wand.

Now, somewhere in the books, someone speculated that Dumbledore
intended Snape to be the Master, but, while that seems a 
reasonable assumption by the character, it seems logically
unsound from the view of the reader. Snape didn't defeat 
Dumbledore, he carried out Dumbledore's order, and acted with
Dumbledore's conscent. No defeat, no new Master.

So, it is possible that Dumbledore wanted Snape to have the wand,
but to not be its Master. He wanted the wand to have no Master
after his death.
