It's not like Planescape Torment where, if you can survive the gameplay, you will love it no matter what. Also, the replay value of Dark Souls (and the reason many of us have 100+ hours in it) is because of the PvP in it. I personally think Dark Souls is the best PvP game I've ever played.
It has many flaws, and so does Skyrim, so I guess it's up to what game you would like the most. Skyrim you already like (I can gather) so if you see yourself loving the hell out of the DLC and playing many hours more of Skyrim, of course you should get the DLC.
Though I still say Dark Souls is superior to Skyrim in many ways. Combat, is has PvP, the lore is insane, and it's not just a game you play. It's a game you learn, it's unique on a level where you can't really draw experience from other RPG games. When you start off playing Dark Souls, you'll die to everything, you'll get insanely frustrated and might even throw your controller around a bit, calling it a piece of shit game.
But when you've completed half of it, and notice that things that was once bosses that you died 10 times to just fall dead in front of you, you'll get a very special feeling that I, personally, had been looking for for a long time. And even though I have 250 hours in Dark Souls, I still get that feeling sometimes.
Though I still get mad and throw my controller around. But that's mostly because I notice my own stupid stuff and get mad at myself. And even that, the rage, is something I think very few games succeed in doing right.
