Seeing as how I watched a man beat the whole game on highest difficulty without using any mages (will edit this with a video if I find it...) so yea, it is very possible. Just a few things you need to know...
1) Bombs and poisons are your friends. Without a dedicated healer, your gonna need to focus on just dealing as much damage as possible to every target you can. How do? Bombs/flasks are actually really nice against groups of enemies. Ditto with poisons against big enemies. Never really tried out traps though.
2) Positioning! Backstabby rogues should always be behind the enemy, archers should never be near enemies, and tanks should be able to shout and make everything attack them.
3) This gentleman's party was two rogues (himself as a melee, and leliana as an archer) and Alistair and Sten, doing their melee thang. Dunno if that's the only no-mage composition that will work, but it certainly looked functional. And you said no healers, not no mages, so with a good DPS mage, I see no reason why it isn't possible.
Just remember, buy EVERY potion/bomb/flask/poison you see, learn how to position your team appropriately, and looking up a couple FAQS on character building couldn't hurt, either.
I say power to you, and inform us of how it goes! Hell, I'd personally love to see a "Let's play" of this, even.
EDIT- Oh yea, it should go without saying, but having someone who can craft all that stuff will make this quite a bit easier.
Also, damn you, I think I may have to reinstall now to try this for myself.
