I don't know about the whole "someone else is helping him write the last couple of book" theory, but I agree that the series as a whole has taken a turn for the worse, writing-wise.
Personally, I think the story has ballooned beyond what was intended. There are way too many sub-plots and characters to keep track of. The last book doesn't even come close to dealing with all that is going on. It just barely touches on several of the main characters (Perrin, anyone? Mat?)!
Quite frankly, I've gotten to the point where I think he just needs to end it.
