How? How does a person who does not know their place in life anymore be a hypocrite.
Defensive about the philosophy of the Qun while not having to adhere to it himself due to his status as a Qunari double agent.
From the Q&A with Patrick Weekes:
"The Iron Bull really loves life outside the demands of the Qun, now that he’s gotten used to it, and he does everything big. He overeats, drinks himself sick, and will hop into bed with anyone he’s reasonably sure he won’t break. He’s been close to death enough times to appreciate life whenever he has the chance."
I got no problem with this myself. Hedonists tend to be annoying, but they aren't exactly harming anyone other than themselves with their excess. Here's the part that gets me, however:
"The only folks The Iron Bull has trouble with are those who go looking for fights about the Qunari. He isn’t trying to convert anybody, but he’s not going to apologize for his way of life, and people like Varric, who saw the Qunari at their worst in Kirkwall, might take that the wrong way."
From this we can gather that not only is he defensive of Qunari philosophy, but also is he in compliance with the oppressive acts that the Qunari have committed. He sincerely enjoys a freedom that he would deny others through the Qun.
It is worth noting that we don't know much about him so far, and he can still turn out to be a great character even if I don't like him. But from what we know so far. he is a hypocrite. I don't like hypocrites, I never have and I never will.

EDIT: it is worth noting that I wouldn't have this problem with the Iron Bull if he were Tal'Vashoth as I had originally assumed. However, it appears he is still a practicing Qunari, even if his faith is faltering just a little bit. I really hope there is a rivalry path in which we are able to call his hypocrite ass out and cause him to renounce the Qun... and that I don't have to romance him in the process to be able to accomplish that. *gag*
