My biggest problem with the Dornish story, like the fAegon story, is that we start to see it in book 4/5. That leads me to believe that they're either filler or GRRM lost his mind.

I don't think there's any question that Martin is victim to some of the same compulsion to create further sprawl in his story that Robert Jordan was subject to. Now, I have no information, but I suspect that the Dorne plot was planned out long in advance, not tacked on to the end. It strikes me as something like Silmarillion where it was part of the overarching mythology.
But Martin made an editorial decision to concentrate the story arc on what are considered the main characters in the first three books. Now, I won't lie, I think he put his best effort into those three books and, if he had Dorne outlined, he probably didn't have it planned in great detail.
