They sacrificed people because that was their religion! If you would call people savages because they worship someone else, then you're starting to sound like a specific group of elves. And the Forsworn Kingdom ruled fairly.

The Thu'um was supposed to be used to fight dragons, not elves, and not kings. And monarchs should have a court who handle most things. And Ulfric had an extreme advantage, something that barely anybody has. A fighter doesn't make a king.
