I think they did a decent job explaining why involving another protagonist is for the best. Leliana said it herself: Solas knows you. He predicts your moves, and counters them to stay ahead of you. I'm satisfied enough that my Lavellan made it clear that she was going to track him down - and I think the next protagonist will be utilized by our Quizzie's to do the job on her/his behalf. Hopefully when Solas is found we get a cameo from our Quizzie's (a la Hawke in the Adamant questline), and their fate can be decided from there.
I know that's not to everyone's taste, but I'M hoping for a Quizzie cameo. I think they did a good job with Hawke, all things considered, and I really don't want Solas to be addressed without my Lavellan being directly involved. Might be tricky wrestling control away if we romanced him, though...
When Leliana says at the very end that Solas knows you and can predict your moves, I think she's forgetting that the Inquisitor also knows Solas. We know what he approves and disapproves of. We know his backstory now. A romanced Inquisitor is potentially Solas cryptonite if used correctly in future games. The fact that Solas cares about preventing needless suffering, the fact that doing what he feels must be done is not easy for him, and the fact that he loves (if romanced) and cares about what happens to the Inquisitor are the key to predicting HIS moves and stopping him. Keeping him romanced and telling him you agree with his goals even if you don't may ultimately be Thedas' best chance. Basically, Solas is not above being manipulated. That's where I see the most potential anyway. He could have just killed the Inquisitor but he's not totally heartless.
