- Dual Thunderbolt 2 ports for daisy-chain support

Only IF the daisy-chained devices ALSO have Thunderbolt ports.
Yes. There are no Thunderbolt hubs, so to daisy chain, each Thunderbolt device needs to have two Thunderbolt ports, one to connect toward the computer, and one the next device in the chain. Some Thunderbolt-equipped hard drives only have one Thunderbolt port, so can't have another device on the chain after them. And I believe a monitor has to be the last device in the chain. Up to 7 devices in a chain IIRC.

But this is separate from the Thunderbolt dock also supporting USB and FireWire. FireWire also supports daisy-chaining, in much the same way as Thunderbolt.
