Isn't the whole point to eliminate the need for third party  
certificate authorities entirely?

Just to clarify what you are saying -- if there is a third party  
certificate chain which fails, then you would distrust the site.  But  
if there is no third party certificate authority chain, and DANE  
succeeds, then you would accept the DANE-provided certificate and  
trust the site.
