What is the BIP-44 Coin Type for Dash? BIP-44 compliant HD wallet trees use the m/purpose'/coin_type'/ account'/change/address_index convention to derive private keys and associated addresses. For coin_type, BIP-44 makes a reference to registered coin types.  Will the Darkcoin index of 5 work for Dash?

Yes, Dash should continue using the same HD index as Darkcoin. Only the coin name is changed. 

So 5h is the correct HD index for Dash.
