Unfortunately, it comes down to the way the character was written. Yes, she certainly changed when she spent that time with Morgause. We are shown that she spent 2 years chained in a dark pit (which would send anybody over the edge) with Aithusa and told that she is more desperate and full of revenge than ever, (not just towards Arthur but everyone - huh - must have missed that bit!) but her behaviour never really changed from season 3 and 4, to season 5 -  she was pretty much the same as ever. For me that's a fail in writing the character (and maybe in the direction and acting as well)  The one I really felt for was Aithusa, that poor little dragon broke my heart!
