I don't see the point of having a cleric AND a druid in the party. You just need one. The cleric casts protection spells before fights when necessary, and heals during the battle. The cleric isn't a bad fighter. I used my Fighter/Clerics as one of my main fighters and he was fine.

The druid also has some helpful offensive spells but doesn't do well physically. I prefer the cleric, but in HoW the druid can rack up levels like crazy, getting more healing spells. Having two priests in your party is kind of redundant. You only need one, and the extra space can be used as a Fighter or a conjurer.

Keep in mind that the thief doesn't see much action in Icewind Dale. Unless you really like backstabbing, I would multi-class him with a fighter, a mage, or both to give him some fighting power.

My choice would be

Fighter (Rangers and paladins have some good abilities, but Fighter can go to 5 specialization (instead of 2), and levels up faster
Cleric
Fighter/Thief (Bows and crossbows)
Conjurer
