Use CCCs. Nightmare is all about the CCC's, elemental weaknesses, and avoiding FF.
Mind you, FF is broken as hell in DA2. Long healthbars on enemies and massive damage from PC's means 1-1 friendly fire guarantees allied kills on any sort of FF without resistances prepared (well, except for the hardcoded percentage damage cap on player characters). It simply means you must position to avoid FF, which is probably a bad design decision. Tactical use of Friendly Fire (see the Berserker Vanguard) has its place in DA2, but it's a lot of work to make it anything other than suicide.
