This is just a great game. It has managed to immerse me in its world even more than Mass Effect did. Just fantastic. Although, it does get a bit boring sometimes - too many companions with all their interesting chatter means that I am progressing very slowly in the Main Quest. Currently trying to get the Dalish Elves on my side.
I am playing this game as a Human Mage and it is great fun. My Mage obliterates anything that doesn't have an Orange-Red colour. Alistair is a capable tank but I, in my noobness, forgot to give him the Taunt skill. All the lieutenants and bosses eventually came for my mage and I terribly miss Morrigan's Forcefield (have Wynne as a Healer). But the squad based combat has its downsides - poor AI means that Alistair and Leliana/Shale/Oghren charge into the Inferno that I conjured. But I just heal through it if a boss stays inside - the consistent damage is too good to ignore.
Also, Wynne uses up all her Mana so fast that it hurts.

Actually you can stop squad members from going in inferno by pressing H. As a Mage Tempest+Blizzard is the best combo, if you do this on a group of enemies and put your team out of it then most of the foes would be already dead and if a boss is there then he would get a good health hit and in the meantime you can heal all your party members and you are good as new as soon as the Blizzard stops. I used to do this a lot.
Thanks for the H tip - should be useful in other situations too. I looked up the controls when I restarted playing this game, but somehow I missed that one.
The Spell Combination sounds great - with my current Spellpower, it would cause 45-50 damage per tick, which would be just great. But unfortunately, none of my mages have gone down the Electricity damage line, and I don't want to use a mod to reset points. Have you used a 3 mage plus tank party - I think that with lots of Lyrium Potions will make quick work of anything that is not a dragon. I hate dragons (okay, only faced two yet), especially the one that you meet while doing the Urn quest. Good think that fight is optional because I couldn't kill it even on Easy.
EDIt: Just realized that if I had used the Storm of the Century on Easy difficulty, even that dragon woould have died.

You can still go back, blow the horn and kill the Dragon if you wish. You will get a real nice loot from it.
As for 3 mage + 1 tank combination, no I haven't done that because I always need a Rogue for picking locks and disarming traps. Though I have played with 2 mage + 1 tank + 1 rogue. Also if you can get Arcane Warrior then you can wield heavy Armor and become Tank yourself and then use 2 mages more + 1 Rogue.

Yes, I also like keeping a Rogue with max Stealing and max device mastery skills - seeing unopened locks makes me mad
I don't like the Arcane Warrior idea, mainly because he won't have the Threaten and Taunt skills. Alistair and Morrigan also make for entertaining conversations.

Yeah that could be problem. Anyway I used Arcane Warrior + Spirit Healer. Though I also had Alistar for backup tank. I always like to play with 2 tanks so that even if Alistar dies then someone is there to take the damage while my Healer heals him and prepare him to take another shot at damage.
I basically didn't liked to keep Morrigon in my party because she always used to conflict with my decisions and same for Sten also. My best Combo were Myslef (As tank + healer) + Alistar (Tank) + Leliana (Range Damage Dealer) + Wayne (Healer). This way I used to do damage in like 250-300 with Leliana and soem damage with both the tanks and enemies would go down in no time even on Hardest Diddiculty.
