There is no reason that female dwarves should have been in DA2. It's not like you discover a dwarven city that's completely filled with males. Also, you fight waves of enemies because having 20+ critters on the screen would mess with the framerate. Also, an origin story would have been dumb.
You encounter plenty of dwarves. It's even more noticeable in Legacy where you fight like fifty dwarves per battle and all of them are male, even though it was roughly half-and-half in the previous game. If most of the dwarves you meet are exiled or left because regular dwarves stay underground, about half should be female.
And I didn't mean having a ton of enemies on the screen at once, I meant having more varied and tactical combat instead of battle after battle of respawning enemies, every so often fighting a mage. There are ways of making battles other than "spam AoE."
And why would an origin have been dumb? The origin of a great hero is a key part of, you know, a great hero. It's not really necessary, but given that it was one of DAO's main gimmicks, it seems odd to replace it with... nothing.
