Shauk, I went the complete opposite route with Broodmother: Melee ftw. I'm an arcane mage (who uses ALL combat abilitie, plus flaming weapons), and I only cast 3 spells on the broodmother: Weakness, Vulnerability Hex, Death Hex. Then I bring on the beatdown. Leiliana does a fair amount of dmg too, and wynne just buffs/heals and casts the occasional stone fist. Took down Flemeth the same way.

Branka was a non-issue. I killed her solo whilst my team took down the creeps. Melee mage ftw, baby. 98.5% fatigue, wearing Blood Dragon armor and sustained spells), might seem like fail, but an arcane mage doesnt need to cast many spells. He just needs mana. 100% mental resistance, 95% physical resistance, and 75% resistance for everything else, I can tank almost anything, if I have enough mana.
Re Oghden, I chucked his puny weapon, and gave him Yusaris - (He's a waaay better 2-handed fighter than Sten, btw.). I think I gave him a cap too - possibly helm of honnleath, and bought him a belt. Otherwise he was good to go, and I found him quite impressive. I also permanently left him in the other mode (not Berseker), which made him more survivable.
