You mean, a single territory of the Empire, weakened by civil war, would have a better chance of beating the Dominion than the entire Empire? Don't think so. Ironically enough, the appearance of Alduin, and Ulfric killing Torygg along with the following civil war, are both pre-requisites of the culmination of the Dominion's plans, to undo Mundus and wipe Humans from creation. Ulfric played into their hands without even realizing it.
