I don't completely understand what you gusy mean about Sten and Zevran. I mean, Sten, Ogren and Alister and Leliana and Zevran are essentially the same characters (from a mechanics perspective), especially if you get a respec addon or mod. There's nothing innate about them that makes them better or worse than others that I'm aware of at least. Am I missing something?

Also, Throne of Baal was definitely an expansion pack and not DLC. Even if it were released today, I'm pretty sure it would be considered an xpac. DLC is quick, cheap "get more from your game!" kinds of stuff. Throne of Baal had tons of additional gameplay, new classes, new spells, new characters. I think it's well beyond what I think of what I think of DLC.
