So why is Dragon Age 2 being criticized as a button masher?

I'm kind of puzzled by this. In Dragon Age Origins, you attack enemies by right clicking on them and you use skills and abilities by hotkey or mouse. In Dragon Age 2, you attack enemies by right clicking on them and you use skills and abilities by hotkey or mouse. So...what has changed exactly? Besides the new flashy, over the top animations in Dragon Age 2?

as far as I'm aware this thing is about the console version of the game, not the PC version.

Button pushing should be taken out of all games from now on.
But Dynasty Warriors would be gone forever

Faster pace means it plays more like Diablo than DA. Button mashing is just people taking it to extremes, button mashing won't get you very far it's not a beat em up.Autoattack is disabled in the PS3 version, lot's of pushing X but I don't really class that as button mashing.

I don't think DIablo comparison is valid. DIablo is fairly slow.
Agree with your second point.

I remember when I first played DA:O I was surprised when I discovered that I didn't have to press A every time I wanted to attack
I would always press it every time anyway.

They just playa hatin'. It's every bit as tactical as Origins, but people are too lazy to mash buttons. Kinda sad.
''Too lazy to mash buttons''? Maybe some people would prefer auto-attack to mashing one button millions of times during the story. Laziness has nothing to do with that choice.

This. I button mashed in origins, even though it didn't do anything.

Similiar to BG etc. Background clock ticks off your attacks rather than you actively pushing buttons. Except for things with cooldowns.
Attacks are pretty much instant now so I'd find it strange not to be pushing X. Star Ocean PS2 I think I got a trophy for pushing x 100,000,000 times..
