I wager High Rock was never truly loyal to the Empire as the other provinces in the first place considering the Breton culture... they were always looking to advance their own benefits or protect self interests. Their "loyalty" to the Empire is merely a tool or an excuse towards that goal. If the Empire is weak, they will probably pay lip services to the Empire when the Empire is getting demolished and use the excuse of "internal conflicts" as excuse when the Empire survives or get strong or whatever...

Either ways, the Aldmeri Dominion and the Empire are not on the same page. The Empire can provide a good fight but that is all they can do at the present. The winner will ultimately be the Aldmeri Dominion. Talks about Thalmor losing control of the Aldmeri Dominion is simply unknown.
