So here is the deal I have heard that it isnt a good idea to send your MCAT score to PA schools as they might think your not serious about it. I have taken my MCAT twice now and as a result feel like sending both scores would jeaopardize my chances. Has anybody been in this situation?

That is very true. As a PA, you taking the Mcat twice shows me you really want to be a doctor not a pa.

If they don't ask for them (which I don't know of any that do), then why would you send them? Would you imagine they need your DAT scores too?

Most of the folks I know who went to PA school in the last several years could have taken the MCAT based on their undergrad coursework. Most were good enough students to do well on it, having taken ochem and physics with good marks. If a PA school wanted that info, they'd ask. Since they aren't churning out physicians, they have their own set of requirements.
