TacticsĪs mentioned above, I didn't want to micromanage Alistair, so I used the following to handle pretty much every encounter. Note you don't need Master Combat Training until you get Shield Mastery, so spend your skill points on Combat Tactics to make sure you can use your abilities.
Shield Expertise (Weapon and Shield, 2nd line, tier 4). Shield Mastery (Weapon and Shield, 3rd line, tier 4, needs 26 Dexterity). Shield Tactics (Weapon and Shield, 3rd line, tier 3, needs 20 Dexterity). Overpower (Weapon and Shield, 1st line, tier 3). Precise Striking (Warrior, 2nd line, tier 1). Shield Wall (Weapon and Shield, 2nd line, tier 3). Shield Balance (Weapon and Shield, 2nd line, tier 2). Shield Defense (Weapon and Shield, 2nd line, tier 1). 
Talents: Righteous Strike, Powerful, Shield Bash, Shield Pummel, Shield Block, Shield Cover. Getting to the third tier of the first line of Warrior Talents and all the lines of Weapon and Shield talents should occupy most of your time. Talents: Concentrate on filling out the tactics load-out described below. If you need a talent that requires the next level of Combat Training get that, otherwise, get Combat Tactics. Alternate between selecting the two based on what talents you're about to pick up. Skills: Combat Training and Combat Tactics don't bother with the rest. If you've built your healer well, you don't need to get fancy with Constitution and Willpower. 
Pop a couple points into Dexterity when talents require it.
Specializations: Templar, then Champion. You're locked in with the relatively useless Templar specialization, but once you reach 14 and can choose a second, definitely pick Champion. Obviously, Alistair is going to be a warrior. So I've built him around me not having to do anything with him: prioritizing his tactics load-out and passive skills. However, you really need to make sure you have a good Spirit Healer (like Wynne) backing him up. 
The aggressive behavior, combined with the tactics loadout described below, makes the AI pretty smart and hands-off. I've found letting Alistair run on auto-pilot works really well. I'm playing through Dragon Age: Origins again with this specific goal in mind, so I'll outline what I've done: Overview
