I'm pretty rusty with that game, haven't played in ages, but...

You'll probably want full healing with the Spirit Healer tree in addition to the Creation-Healing tree.
Alistair's probably going to be your best friend, equip him well so he can properly tank. Have Leliana pick locks and either Morrigan or Wynne to sling spells next to you and you'll be all set.
Cone of Cold + Stonefist is one of my go-to combos to OHKO mooks, but there might be better alternatives for Nightmare. Debuffs might actually be a good idea in that difficulty, but honestly I never used the Entropy spells so I can't tell you which would be the most useful.

Blood mage and Arcane Warrior specializations are both powerful and synergize well with each other

For party: typically, I use Alistair as a tank, Leliana as a ranged rogue, Wynne as a healer, and myself as a damage-dealer mage. You can also make it work with three mages and an archer by using Arcane Warrior to tank

For spells: Fireball, Cone of Cold, Stonefist for combos, the first three glyph spells, Heal, the blood mage spells, Mana Clash if you can stomach needing to sacrifice 4 points to get it. Haste is a nice bonus, but not necessary.

i don't consider spending 4 talent points in order to be able to one shot mages a sacrifice.

so run myself down the dps line, and wynne down healer/buffs?

If you don't like Alistair you can use ||don't read unless you beat game already|| loghan.
Its basically the same character. If you have dlc the character you get in that one, is your best choice. Best tank in the game imo.
