Plasma is the desktop shell for KDE, so in order to use the KDE apps 
without it, you have to logout of KDE, log in in Unity and select the 
default apps in your unity session to be the KDE ones - Dolphin, kate 
etc... However i would not recommend that, because of two reasons:
1) KDE and Gnome apps will have visual inconsistency (that's fixable)
2) KDE apps don't "respect' stuff like appindicators etc... which is 
essential in Unity
