On a personal level,  it was a dick move and it's not invalid of Rook to be unhappy about it, but in the practical scheme of things, its very easy to see why Solas deceived them about Varric's death. Cruel to Rook, of course, but with Elgar'nan and Ghilan'nain loose in the world, ready to blight Thedas to regain their power, and Solas trapped in the Fade where he can't effectively combat them, and this one random mortal who barely grasps the situation being the only one standing against them...I see why his calculus landed on the side of deeply hurting this one person in order to better prevent the destruction of the world and its subjugation to god-like tyrants he barely defeated last go around.
