I had similar performance problems that were not there before the patch. I did three things and now the game seems te be running just fine again. Here's what I did:
First I did the graphics workaround (http://answers.ea.com/t5/Dragon-Age-Inquisition/Patch-2-Graphics-Work-Around-TESTED/m-p/4101233#U4101233).
Second I disabled Origin In Game for this game (which can be done in Origin, I think I did it under Game Properties).
Third I changed the following display option in game: fullscreen mode was set on fullscreen and I changed it to windowed fullscreen.
I did some playthrough and a cutscene both of which were terrible after patch 2, but now with these 2 changes they're fine again!
Note: I also set Origin to offline mode, but I don't think that made a difference so I set it back to online mode. Seems fine that way.
Hopefully someone else can fix their similar problems this very easy way and continue to enjoy the game!

Ive also noticed when playing after patch 2 without the injector the menu lags badly until you get in game where you have this half smooth half stutter gamplay.. and if you use the [Using third party game files is against our Terms of Service - Admin.]
