Dark matter and energy are irrelevant, no matter what percentage of the "stuff" in the universe are made of them. Greater than 99% of the things you or I experience from day to day are the result of the electromagnetic force. We experience gravity pulling us down all the time, but that's like one continuous note contained within a symphony. Some of our electricity is produced by nuclear power, but that's hard to pick out from anything else. A few people have lived through a nuclear explosion, which probably had a profound emotional impact on them. Perhaps you've seen the glowing, radioactive paint that they used to use on watch-hands to make them glow in the dark (probably from behind glass in a museum, if you have). But everything else, all of the things you can detect with your senses, comes from the interactions between electrons and photons. Dark matter doesn't interact with either electrons or photons, and neither does dark energy. So they're irrelevant; they can't be used to explain the behavior of the EMDrive, because the EMDrive is made of matter.
