I think that people are a little rigid when it comes to 'evil' behaviour. Why must an 'evil' character kill anything and everything in sight? Such behaviour is self destructive. One can be evil without being a thug.
As for the dryads, I could think of multiple reasons as to why an evil character would help them.
1. Expectation of a reward. You're not clairvoyant, and it's quite possible the faerie folk give shiny stuff when you help them.
and more importantly...
2. The old proverb 'The enemy of the enemy is my friend'. Irenicus is your arch-nemesis, and hurting him by freeing the dryads is a nice way to spite him, after all he has done to you.
