When you have as many characters as this show has, in such a limited amount of time to develop them, it's not exactly a botched storyline.
The reason it is botched is because they introduced Dorne but didn't develop it. Oberyn is the only character from Dorne that the story actually needed. They could have gotten away with giving him a more individualized treatment and cutting out Doran and the Sand Snakes. They probably learned their lesson and that's why Septon Meribald only appeared in one episode.
