Oh, definitely, no question. But what happened in Need is different: he left the others behind, essentially. And I think that realization shook him a lot, and he has an almost unconscious compulsion to ensure that any future plans of his won't endanger anyone else but himself. As you yourself have mentioned more than once, Daniel loves the team, but doesn't quite get that team equals teamwork - so if he can execute some hair-brained scheme that will likely leave him half- or mostly-dead, but the rest of the team will be safe, he's likely to see it as a perfectly viable option.
