Absolutely. He didn't isolate himself from others. His connection took the form of control. The more he controlled and dominated, the more connected he was. His Empire was his outlet for connection. He would feel disconnected if he wasn't in power.

He also connected to the dark side of the force and to the Emperor.

Switching polarities at the last minute ultimately killed him. Big mistake for a darkworker.
Darth was disconnected to feeling for others. That's what you have said about the DW approach -they don't care about what others get or if they are in the way to walk over them. That is being disconnected to treating people in a helpful way. That is what is disconnected. The disconnect is that the DW does not view others as being part of the same self and is an "other" to exploit.

So maybe being connected to other's is not the word to use. It's the sense of not thinking others are connected to a common well being. That it doesn't matter what other's experience around you because of you. That is detached from people. argh...
