I'll admit, the deleuzian critique of hegel is pretty complicated, and I'm trying to understand hegel better myself to get the full scope of it. So, one of the things Deleuze is combatting is a primacy of Identity. From D&R, Deleuze admits that Hegel does understand this problem to an extent, which is why he sees Hegel as creating a more organic system. Which is pretty right, since Hegel does criticise the stale substance/accident model as well as fixed notions of general being and how this doesn't capture transformations, among other things. For Deleuze though, difference in itself, or a primacy of difference is what you actually need to get a philosophy of becoming off the ground. He's going to say that Hegel's determinate negation isn't actually productive, and that all negations by definition are just shadows conserving the identity of the thing all along. This is also seemingly evident in Hegel's system of circles, where the Absolute is meant to completely describe (the progression of) Being in all its forms, while Being is also the starting point.

Deleuze will further say that the real transformation of becoming, aka difference, can only happen through affirmation - history moves by deciding problems and affirming differences. Note, hilariously how analytics moved on from hegel by affirming the empirical sciences - they don't read hegel and they don't negate him.

Deleuze's later work also offers a description of structure and relation formation that generates not only hierarchical structures, but also distributed ones. Hegel's phenomenology proceeds rather linearly, where each new universal concretizes, and sets the stage for the new determinate negation. But each layer has to be subsumed by the next, almost by necessity. I think Deleuze's picture lets us do Hegel with even more power; he offers us the ability to move productively between far reaching steps, for example, moving from sense-certainty to reason, or moving from spirit to self-consciousness, etc.
