You're not going to be able to kill Morrigan. End of story. Here's why:
Morrigan has a lot of depth to her character: her upbringing and unique outlook on the world, her own ambitions and agendas, her character flaws. And though she is never entirely forthcoming about the details of her life, she has never demonstrably lied. She has a great deal of character development over the course of DA:O, if you bother to get to know her. This sense of mystery, combined with her relationship with Flemeth (a major player, apparantly), makes her a complex and interesting character.
Some people don't like complexity. It scares and confuses them. They prefer a simple story, with clearly defined good and bad. These are the sort of people that think that Alistair is a pansy, Sten is a two-dimensional brick wall, Oghren is a stereotypical drunk, Wynne is a nagging old lady, Loghain is pure evil, etc. If that's how they choose to play through the game, that's fine, but these people need to understand that their inability to appreciate a well-written work of fiction does not mean that it will be dumbed down to their preferences.
Morrigan has considerably more potential to her character than any remaining character from Origins, except for perhaps Flemeth. She may even develop into the foil of Flemeth. They aren't going to end her story with a $7 DLC after putting all of that work into her.
From a metagaming perspective: as someone mentioned earlier, Bioware isn't going to bring in a big-name actress like Claudia Black to voice a few lines for a cheap DLC that won't be purchased by all owners of DA:O.
Great post here. Exactly how I feel about the characters. There's more to them than the stereotypes most pin them to. Especially Morrigan in this case. Bioware really understands the shades of gray concept well. The whole good vs. evil is timeless, but not always realistic.
PS Is the elf companion for the DLC a rogue or warrior? I see people here say female dalish rogue yet I read she is a warrior on the official description. In that case then the last companion but be a dwarven rogue by the trend set already. IDK maybe I missed something...
