Spirit Stones are the obvious ones.

Because they're just lying around aren't they. Getting them is incredibly dangerous even if you have people with experience helping you. Not to mention the obscene number you'd need.

As if they cared about casualties.
And if the other Eldars can do it, so can they.

The IoM does what it does for humankind, so it can have a future. The Craftworld Eldar for similar reasons, the Tau for the Greater Good. Necrons do it for the return of their old empire. Tyranids and Orks don't even understand the concepts of morality. Chaos because that is what it is (but most of their mortal followers are evil as they had a choice and they know that they are evil).

But the Dark Eldar do it for themselves, they don't care about the Dark Eldar as a whole, they go out of their way to be as vicious as possible. They constantly kill and torture each other for souls and giggles, and they do it in the most possible depraved ways imaginable, and they know it. The funny part is that they are essentially Slaanesh Eldar, but they don't want to admit that.

Dark Eldar don't care about casualties but they care a LOT about them getting hurt individually.

No they can't. There are a more Dark Eldar than Craftworlders because of all the vat born.

Dark Eldar do what they do to live and to carry on the old ways of their Empire. Just like the Imperium.

The old ways of the Empire is what started this mess in the first place.

It was needed the birth of a god that killed their Empire to teach them that they were fethed up, and yet they didn't pay attention.

And their attempts at keep their souls are hilarious. Aside of some higher ups (aka Vect), the average Dark Eldar will eventually be killed, or tortured and killed, by other Dark Eldar. Their own love to their live style is what condemns them, because their live style revolves around torturing and killing each other.

But it's still their way of life. The Imperium could be in a much better position if they changed but they won't either. They're the same in that way.
