Compound that with her unwillingness to really empathise with people, and it's quite clear she more or less has the same attitude that Dark Rand had: the ends justifies the means, people need decisions made for them, I know better than others, I have no time for the suffering of others.

She isn't as far down the spectrum as he was, but she is completely oblivious to it while with Dark Rand we have very tangible proof that he knew exactly how wretched he was and desperately wanted to change (though until VoG he didn't have hope that he could change). His interactions with Nynaeve in TGS are probably among my favorite moments in the entire series, they are so laden with depth. Egwene really suffers for not having scenes like that (Siuan would have been a perfect character to have this relationship with, but Egwene treats her more like Dark Rand treated Cadsuane).
