Well, speaking as someone whose only exposure of the character is this episode, Lightning Dust strikes as a sort of Pony version of the Crystal Prep Shadowbolts.

The Shadowbolts only "reformed" because it was a "do or die" situation where lives of their fellow members were at stake.

When you see them outside of an universe-threatening event (in "Dance Magic"), they are the same jerks as always.

Keeping that in mind, yes, I believe Lightning dust isn't a good Pony.
