I don't know about using a 2-hander, but I don't think I'd run on a higher difficulty setting without Varric. He gave me a pretty good chuck of xp from chests and traps and if you do his quests a certain way, he does a
ridiculous amount of damage due to the way that Bianca upgrades (this is in act 3 IIRC). When I finished the game, he had
4! damage runes on Bianca, along with I think 3 armor runes, so, on the high dragon fight, for instance, I had him decked out in runes so that he was completely immune to fire (so was Aveline), and with 4 cold runes, each giving something like +27 cold damage.
It was
insane...
Plus later on in the game I got into using Goad to help Aveline manage aggro, it seemed to work out really well.
As far as 2h vs s/s, I didn't really like running with Fenris, although I'm sure if I'd spent a little more effort setting him up I'd probably have done better.
Half the problem was that he can kill the entire party in one Whirlwind if I'm not paying attention to where I have him. But that wouldn't be an issue on hard.
