This is one way to do it, but my understand is that Dublin Core is less granular then PBCore. If I'm correct, you will loss some context since you have a "lossy" conversion of your metadata. In many cases this might not matter or be much of a concern, however in some cases this might be a problem. I'd check to make sure the lossy-ness isn't an issue for the specific collection in question before doing a PBCore>Dublin Core>MARC 21 conversion. If it is, I'd try figure out a way to create my own crosswalk using the Dublin Core one as a a starting point.
