I think you can crank on casual if your companions can handle the aggro. Varric and Solas wouldn't do a great job of that though, and Cass would have to be speced just right to handle it....still some would skip through.
I had Blackwall, Dorian, and IB on my first casual run and cranked away, but they were better suited for it. Dorian did barriers and Blackwall/IB kept the enemies off my back. Wouldn't work on a harder difficulty though, or with every team, so it's pretty bad advice yes
I think Sera is a better rogue early game than Varric. It's just easier to get her better equipment, plus her AI keeps her away from enemies, while Varric is always running in. He does get better though, and would be fine early on if you make sure to always get the right Bianca upgrades and equip them.
That quest on Nightmare was the only time I brought two mages with me.
Viv specced for fire, Solas for ice, both with Barrier and Energy Barrage while Cass did all the tanking.
For the trebuchet, I had to make a lot of tactical retreats in order to take advantage of one of the few chokepoints to make Cass' job easier while I dealt with the annoying targets like archers and mages.
Luckily however once I got toward the end, Fiona was easy.
