In fairness the Dorne master plot is "Let's have a secret marriage pact that basically only three people, all of whom are over 40 know about so that when the parties come of age then we'll announce the marriage and use Dorne, the least populated area of the seven kingdoms to have a Targaryen rebellion against a powerblock of the Westlands-Stormlands-Vale-North all of whom are connected by first degree marriages/wardships/bloodlines in general."
And I'm not even going to mention the fact that Doran wants to side with the Targs despite the fact that Aerys II got his sister and her children killed by imprisoning them instead of sending them away.
Doran=low energy cuck 4 real
I honestly always thought the Dorne plot line even in the books was fucking stupid. It's only the deus ex dragons that Martin fucking loves to use time and time and time and time and time and time and time and time and time and time and time and time again.
Also, with R+L=J the entire narrative that the books seem to be working towards makes no sense.

Well, what other chance did Doran have? He has the lowest population and no real alliances, as you mentioned. Doesn't that mean waiting it out was pretty much his best option? I think you're not giving the Dornish master plan enough credit, nor are you giving the potential for a Dornish + dothraki army to bring real devastation to westeros
Regardless of what you think about the Dornish story arc, the way the show portrayed it was incredibly stupid. Why get such a good actor to play Doran to have him be in like 5 scenes total? Why get such horrible actresses to play the sand snakes? The show at this point just seems lazy and poorly written.
As for your last point, what do you think doesn't make sense about R+L=J? Westeros will be at war across its south, the wall will come down, and a resurrected Jon will rally the north to fight back against the Others. Dany will FINALLY land in westeros, seeing how she's been seeking a moral purpose (saving humanity for an apocalyptic invasion will finally give her justification to leave her freed slaves). The third head of the dragon will reveal himself / herself (I have no idea who this is, I suspect it will be Bran warging a dragon but I'm honestly not sure if he and the children of the forest will be on that side of the conflict) and we'll have war!!!!!
Dany will die in the conflict. A victorious Jon, ever noble and ever with the stark traits, will deny himself the iron throne and instead become lord of Winterfell. He will place Rickon on some appropriate seat... Maybe Riverrun as lord paramount of the trident. And he'll place Sansa on the iron throne. This will bring the north, the vale, and the riverlands into an alliance.
Probably wrong about all of that, especially since I have no idea what fAegon is going to do, but it's my $.02
