Go with Artificer. 

 

Here are my reasons for this

  1. It is more fun. All the rogue specializations are good, unlike say the mage specializations (Necromancer anyone ?). Which means that starting from mid game onwards, you will be killing everything anyway. Artificer is far more colorful and far more explosive. The Tempest is just :- Let's douse some chemicals and do things. 
  2. Artificer has better passives than Tempest and can benefit not only your Inquisitor but your whole party. 
  3. Tempest is only outstandingly good when you are using your flask. The moment you are done using a Flask, you are stuck with half-a-minute cooldown. The Artificer has no such limitations; in fact, you will not be able to keep up with how fast or rather how low your cooldown will be. 
  4. Artificer is more technologically advanced. Think of it as the Engineer specialization in Dragon Age. The Tempest is a mage wannabe. Technology > magic.
  5. Artificer is more versatile. On the surface, this might not be the case but Artificer offers options for Crowd Control, Oh Shite ! and decent damage. Tempest is all about damage with some tanking ability. 

 

Well actually tempest is really fun as well. Flask of lightning offers a versatile way to move around the battlefield or concentrate damage and Flast of frost with its upgrade can draw aggro and freezes minions allowing you to do a shatter backstab.

 

I think when you think of tempest, it is best to use 2h daggers because tempest with bow is a lot worse than daggers.
