They are two of the primary emotions yes, from greed you get ambition, lust, desire, jealousy, envy and others, from fear you get hate, distrust, caution, community, etc. The third I'd say would be empathy, whence comes love, charity, compassion, mercy, bravery and others.

Also Gul Dukat did nothing wrong.

more like laziness and fear

Greed actually takes a lot of effort. Most people will steal if given the chance, but how often do people have the opportunity to be more than a petty thief? To be a successful greedy person you have to outsmart people who are also quite intelligent and work hard to hold onto their wealth, it can take months to find those opportunities and figure out a way to do it without being caught and most people can't be bothered.
