The heart chakra is an activity center; it's not something you consciously utilize so much as it's shaped by the path that you choose. If you draw energy through the will it travels up into the heart. If you draw energy from your ideals it will draw energy down to the heart. This is the difference between, "No! We have to save them!" and "Are you mad? You'll get us all killed!" Ideals inspire us to strive for them, and even die for them, and the will keeps us grounded. The former doesn't necessarily make you a bleeding heart hippie and the latter doesn't mean you become unfeeling and cold. It means that lightworkers will go to great lengths in order to manifest an ideal world, even sacrifice themselves, whereas a darkworker prefers measured risks and will focus on cutting their losses as opposed to striving for something beyond reach or saving one life at the cost of their own (that isn't to say that they don't take bold actions, they just always weigh the odds). Both have to make hefty sacrifices at various points in their journey.
Without the will, the solar plexis has no power to channel. The will keeps you grounded, it keeps you centered. It helps you focus. It puts you in command of your faculties. No one can succeed without a strong will. In focusing on it specifically you can supercharge it and in doing so you become a force to be reckoned with. For the darkworker, it is the foundation everything else is built upon.
The same is true of lightworkers and their ideals. The heart feels, but without ideals what does it feel for? The heart has no will, no direction, of its own. Ideals speak to the heart and thus enliven the lightworker. Remember that unity is itself an ideal, and while it seems a belief in oneness isn't absolutely necessary to lightworking (remember that lightworking and darkworking are merely new-age terms for disciplines which are thousands of years old) unity, in some form, is imperative.
And to clarify what I mean by ideals, I mean that lightworkers commit themselves to service of that which all ideals stem from. They bow before heaven and serve as its means of manifesting on earth. Darkworkers, on the other hand, identify themselves as divine and shape the world in their own image. Lightworkers are transformed, darkworkers transform.
