you dont ever do an authoritative restor unless you have no other option. this is a major operation and you should seek guidance from a microsoft support professional or field engineer.
You would normally do the above procedure to restore any deleted objects. However when it comes to DR with a DC I usually put a lag DC in place which will be 24hrs behind. If you do run into any issues with your live AD you know the changes has not yet replicated to the lag DC. The only issue with this is when it is replicated then its no longer behind.
One nice thing is that with the recycle bin in 2008 R2 an authoritative restore is almost never needed.
Not sure if you have seen this guide from Gil and Guido

...probably the best DR I've read.
Thanks

Basically.. If all the domain controllers are permanently gone you'll want the authoritative restore.
