Yeah, all that bullshit about, "just 'cause your Dark Side, doesn't mean your a bad guy," just pisses me off.
It's feasible but there's a flaw. You become so trusting of the abilities the Dark Side as granted you that become over-confident. In the end you end up going bad because of those powers, not to mention the DS itself will corrupt you.
The Sith were pure DS, but the first Outcast Jedi combined their powers to the primitive Sith Magic, and over like 10 000 years, they evolved, both racially and Forcibly. They're quite undoubtedly the superior of all DS users.

However, it was more than the Jedi's raw power that interested Scourge. Unlike all the instructors at the Academy, or even Nyriss herself, Revan had experienced both the light and dark sides of the Force. He had a unique perspective on its strengths and weaknesses, and Scourge was eager to learn from his experience. (SWTOR: Revan)
He understood that the two sides of the Force were more closely intertwined with each other than either the Jedi or the Sith would ever admit. He had learned to balance on the knife-edge between them, drawing on both the light and dark sides for strength. (SWTOR: Revan)
During combat situation:
Instead of charging forward, he opened himself up to the Force, letting both the light and the dark side flow through him like twin rushing rivers. But instead of focusing or channeling the Force, he released it in its purest form. (SWTOR: Revan)
I wonder, what would have happened if Revan had actually focused and/or channeled that power.
Three centuries ago, Revan wielded the dual philosophies of Sith passion and Jedi tranquility to conquer his enemies; he even nearly assassinated the Sith Emperor. (SWTOR: Encylopedia)

That said, I suspect his use of the dark side had drawbacks, such as not foreseeing the betrayal of Scourge.
"The dark side obscures my sight. We are walking into a time and place of shadows, and I cannot promise you that we will ever come out." (Revan to Scourge)
Though no character is infallible.

Yes, and they generally become Jedi. There's no general term for them to my knowledge, but 'Enlightened Sith' isn't a bad descriptor.
In The Old Republic era, one of the members of the Sith Council was talked into abandoning his Sith ways and turning to the light.
