When using mind blast and the like, set it up for When attacked by a melee attack, it gets used. AI react to getting smacked a lot more.

I recommended a ranged strategy since I have a prominently ranged team, Leliana, Wynne, Morrigan and myself (Weapon Shield Berserker Templar Warrior). I tank (Cailan's Arms/Armor really come in handy here), Leliana opens locks, steals, disables opponents armor and covers me, Wynne does the healing and Morrigan does secondary healing and throws around spells. Of course, the group in question is vulnerable if I can't hold the line but rarely does that happen because I use taunt a lot and have Threaten on. If you do use a team like mine, keep a healthy distance between the enemy and your ranged dudes. CQC areas (ruins, buildings and the like) usually end up being the hardest areas to fight through.

With the broodmother, I taunt her so she focuses on me, then run around killing the guys she brings in, and have the others throw everything at her. I have Morrigan use Blizzard the moment the fight starts for the continuous damage so I can focus more on her backup, since if they run into the ice they slip and freeze. I don't have to worry about friendly fire since as an Xbox player there is no friendly fire on Normal. Hard/Nightmare though? I don't recommend Blizzard and the like. Use Blood Wound. It's got no friendly fire and is wickedly awesome.

Get some nature resistance though. The thing likes her acid.

I honestly have more trouble with the Corrupted Spider Queen, although that's mostly because it's a spider with mental issues. And webs. And backup. Nothing a healthy dose of Blizzard can't handle.
