There are elements of Alec in Dean but they're very different. Except for a few episodes, Alec is generally a light-hearted character who functions as a foil to Jessica Alba's haunted and brooding Max. Alas, Jessica Alba pulls off "haunted" and "brooding" about as well as you'd expect her to.
Frankly, I think Jessica Alba is a big reason why there isn't more good Dark Angel fic. It's really, really hard to get past all her pouting and posing. And overall the show is really...quite awful. Alec is pretty much the only thing that makes it worth watching. I'm ashamed that I own it. I hide it when people come over.
If you can get your hands on it, the first season of Dark Angel featured Jensen Ackles in one episode as Ben, the precursor to Alec. Totally worth watching, I mean TOTALLY (http://oselle.livejournal.com/300313.html#cutid1). I own this one too. Sigh.
