Dragons Gave Gods Power?
The biggest problem with the idea, I think, is that the gods were gods before they ever came to Tyria- in fact, some of their greatest acts seem to have been done shortly, perhaps immediately, after they arrived. The arrival itself, traversing the Mists from one planet to another and bringing an entire race with them, is beyond the scope of any mortal power we know of, save perhaps the mursaat.
there is no correlation between gods and dragons.
also what aaron said.
I would say that the Gods likely arrived at Tyria, and setup in Orr in order to siphon power from Zhaitan. Beyond that I don’t think there’s much of a connection.
One more problem in your theory that I’d like to point out is that it seems to imply that the dragons are divine and capable of creating their own realms in the mists.

We find out during Arah (Explorable) that they didn’t know Zhaitan was under Arah.
Randall Greyston: Each of the bloodstone shards has been captured by a corrupted servant of a human god, yet this one is not. I wonder why.
Randall Greyston: Fantastic! The human gods not only sundered the seer’s bloodstone here-they increased its power.
Randall Greyston: They pulled the energies of Zhaitan himself, even though they did not know of the sleeping Elder Dragon.
Randall Greyston: They only knew that this was a place of great magical power, and built their godly city here.

Three of the gods – Dwayna, Balthazar, and Melandru – arrived on the world as gods. Chances are the other three did too (now, the question is whether these other three are Lyssa, Abaddon, and Dhuum, or predecessors of the three – we know Lyssa’s origins are outright stated to be unknown, and we know Abaddon had a predecessor though we don’t know when Abaddon supplanted his predecessor).
@Erukk: Randall’s comment seems to be retconned given the Scroll/Tome of the Five True Gods. Chances are that they knew of Zhaitan but didn’t know they were pulling energies from Zhaitan, nor knew where Zhaitan (and the other Elder Dragons) slumbered. (If they did know, wouldn’t they have thought to kill and replace at least one of them with Glint while they slept?).
Stop treating GW2 as a single story. Each Season and expansion should be their own story.

Why are you so sure they cared about the Elder Dragons?
Only Abaddon showed indirect interest. So indirect that its an assumption.
