Never melee with a mage/cleric (or a sorcerer for that matter). Other classes do the sword-swinging so much better, and IMHO, it's a bit like using an AK-47 as a club. Much better to stand back and blast your opponents while their attention is distracted by the tanks getting in their faces.
I guess you'll have another cleric spell caster in the party. The time I played with a cleric/illusionist I had a ranger/cleric as well who I left virtually all the buffing and summoning to. The ranger/cleric therefore did the pre-fight prep and then leapt into the fray, leaving all the cleric/illusionist's spell slots free for offensive magic.
The cleric/illusionist loses out on horrid wilting, but makes up for it by getting an extra spell per level. Thus the extra time stop or chain contingency make this little old gnome arguably the most powerful class.
