Don't think so. Quest experience is shared among the group, but quest
faction no longer is.

I wonder if call of bones resets your faction to base skeleton faction.
But even if it does, that won't help a DE that has destroyed his faction
(for the same reason shared wolf form didn't work - illusions only change
your base racial faction, not religion-based faction changes or
adjustments due to kills or quests).

I couldn't find any reference to another way to increase dark bargainer
faction. Rumor has it that some quests can be done invis - you might try
giving 4 stacks of 4 red wines while invis, the re-casting and repeating.

Or you may be SOL. Perhaps it's time to start cultivating freeport
faction.
