His issue was that he hated playing next to another ILB, and I don't think it matters what version of the 3-4 he's in in that regard; it's going to be a problem. He wants to be a 4-3 MLB, because that's what he's most comfortable doing.

That's kind of what I'm afraid of. I thought he was the player we needed most in the draft last year. While he didn't really impress, what chance did he have with the surrounding cast and "coaching"? I really hope he doesn't get kicked to the curb because he doesn't fit the new regime/scheme. I don't see us getting much compensation for him if we do lose him - nothing like what we invested - and that would suck. Hopefully he thrives in the 3-4 end position or at least gets to play to his strengths as a 4-3 DT.

In the 3-4, you have a guy that plays similar to a 4-3 MLB and you have the other ILB play a role similar to a 4-3 WLB. Zach Thomas was in the "will" and he wants to play the Mike. Doesn't matter if it's 4-3 or 3-4. In the 3-4 he just wants to be the OTHER ILB.

if they looking at him in a " penetrating role" :Elvis: then he'll likely play DE in the 3-4 formation.

Perhaps they will try Dorsey as a penetrating NT similar to what Ratliff and Dockett do.

In the interview you referenced he directly stated that he was signed here as a middle linebacker and that's the way he liked it. He made a point about being a MLB again.

It's probably the best comparison, though Wade's 3-4 is a one-gap scheme and that is probably not what Pioli intends to construct. It's very different from what New England does.
