Correct me if i am wrong but i am pretty sure you solder the driver to the +/- pins and then just leave the unused pin alone. Then just connect the input for the + to the switch and bypass the switch. And power it up. This is just a guess so i could be wrong ;)

A red diode is case negative. A BR diode is case isolated.
You don't need to do any of that stuff.

Just solder the driver to the + and - pins, and leave the unused pin alone.
Then take, the + wire from the driver, and solder it to the switch, and from the switch to the spring.
Leave the - wire from the driver alone.

I am assuming this would apply to a dorcy build too. (not using star piece)

Not necessarily...
Are you talking about the full body heatsink, or the basic one?

Full Body: Yes, it would apply.
Basic: It will work both ways.

Each collumn is connected to eachother. You would connect the + wire to the top right pin. Then, connect another wire to the bottom right pin, and then solder it to the spring.

Polarity doesn't matter.

Besides the fact that I can never find a proper switch datasheet, I don't trust them and just check the resistance with a DMM.  Some switches have different pole/throw (how the connections are made, and how many are controlled at once) arrangements too, so it's a good way to check.
