Moonbeam is great. And the flaming sword does a lot of damage - and since it is based on you spellcasting ability, it should have a decent role.

As for companions: I don't even have a fighter, since I somehow managed to forget to collect Lae'Zel and now she is not in the cage anymore (I know, I can get her at the bridge with the gith patrol), so my normal party is Shadowheart, Gale and Astarion. At the moment I switched out SH for Wyll for the story in the goblin camp. Makes sense to have Wyll there.
It works well. I really don't use Lae'zel that often, even when playing a mage, since I like to use magic and arrows more.
