is this better?

ok ok heres the situation i guess: is it good to install a .wad onto dolphin first before you install it onto a wii?

I'm not sure how Dolphin works, but if it allows you to do that, and installed wad files work the same as they do in the Wii, then i don't see the problem in trying.
But it's worth mentioning, you want to have Bootmii installed as either IOS or Boot2 for brick protection on your Wii, if you don't have it set up already, and make a nand backup with BootMii and store somewhere safe just in case.

Short answer: Yeah.
Long answer: Many times it is recommended to try the WADs on Dolphin Emulator for see if they work as should before attemping to install them on a real Wii console, but an important warning: BEFORE INSTALLING ANY WAD ON Wii, YOU MUST HAVE INSTALLED ALL THESE THINGS: BootMii@IOS, BootMii@boot2 (if possible), Priiloader & a NAND backup.
