I believe that the attacks at Dale and the Lonely Mt were threefold. First, and most obvious, to put a strain of the Men and Dwarves of the north. Secondly, long ago the ring had been to the Lonely Mt. Sauron knew this. He proboly believed that there was a chance that it was sent there for safe keeping while he made war on Gondor far away. And thirdly, this was a frontier to the northern wastes, where there were still many evil creatures (i.e. dragons). If Sauron conquered them, the dragons would have had free reign to swoop down on Middle Earth, which would have been disastorous.
As to Lorien, Sauron was jealous of Galadriel. He suspected that she had one of the three rings. He was ever trying to perceive her mind/thoughts, but always failed. His motivation for fighting at Lorien was to finally infiltrate Galadriel's protected realm. It was more out of pride, anger, and jealousy that he fought here.

Cheers
