That's the point.
Dave's sanity slippage and descent into an increasingly terrible person is actually really interesting and engaging to watch. I don't understand accusations that he was "derailed" because it was actually built up quite well. His skave plot is brilliant because it's almost Total Drama deconstructing itself; it starts off just like things like Zoke and Nemma where it's made blatantly obvious they're going to be a couple, but then spectacularly plays with your expectations. Even when you think you know how things are going to go down he and his plot just end up going even more downhill than before.
I also quite like the irony of the most normal character ending up the most unstable.
That said I'm not exactly his biggest advocate. Sometimes his plot is just too dark to enjoy and he can be hard to watch at times, and he's somewhat grating at some moments.
I'll end this by saying his confessional in the finale is a big canidate for most memorable TDPI line

For those confused, the finale confessional is "I'm gonna make sure Sky wins. This is how all great love stories end; the guy gets the girl, the girl gets the money... that came out wrong
"
