I think the problem is Dan really thinks that Tori is his golden and perfect creation. He wanted Tori to get Beck, but Beck and Jade worked so well together that he couldn't break them up outright. Now, with this horrible breakup, he'd either 1) finally do Beck-Tori as he wanted, or 2) write Tori as this too-awesome girl who's Beck's number 1 choice but can't get since he has (recently) turned out to be a jerk who's not good enough for her.

I normally don't like criticizing writers when they write storylines I dislike, but in the case of Tori, Dan's so eager to promote her as universally likeable that he'd derail characters (like Jade previously, and then now Beck) to do it. I don't hate her at all, but I don't see what's so special about her. Many characters in the show adore her and she's cute, but I don't see where their head-over-heels adulation is coming from--the other female characters are just as pretty and talented and charismatic as she is. So maybe Dan will let Bade get back together, but only after showing that Tori CAN get Beck if she wants to, but is too nice to do it and is too perfect for him anyway.
