I *love* your train of thought - there are flickers of dark!House on the show in his treatment of Wilson. House is selfish. We love him, but there is no denying that, I think.
I see what you mean about House needing Wilson -- House will accept "coddling" from Wilson while pushing everyone else aside. He likes and expects Wilson to fuss over him (make him food, watch the L-word with him, help him with his leg) and he acts a bit like a spoiled brat when he doesn't get what he wants.
Does he do what's best for Wilson? Again, I dunno. He lied/manipulated -- and might even have sabotaged -- Wilson during Cuddy's sperm-donor hunt. Was House trying to protect Cuddy's privacy and/or Wilson's pride, stop Wilson from doing something stupid, or stop Wilson from doing something Wilson might really want (having kids, that is) that might take him away from House?
I like dark!Wilson so long as his intentions are to help House is whatever twisted way. But I wish people would consider that House is not the perfect friend either.
