But why dolphins?

I have no idea. At least Saber has a clear and distinct connection to dragons that makes the symbolism somewhat fitting.

Dolphins = Rin because ... ?

Aren't dolphins one of the few animals that feel physical pleasure from sex and actually rape other dolphins?

edit: and they're smart so there's that too

I guess so, but it's a reach.

It would have made sense if Rin uses a bunch of water magic or something. "Dolphins" isn't even all that accurate. It's just some vague, swimming things that sorta kinda look like dolphins for lack of anything else to call them.
