I like your party mix, and I agree with your comments about mage spells. In fact I very rarely use any mage spells above third level.
One suggestion. Why don't you have a cleric/thief (dwarf) and two single class fighters / paladins? It will give you a better front line, keep your illusionist 'pure' and make your thief a much better scout. If he gets into trouble just cast Sanctuary, and if you do accidently step on any traps he can heal himself.
Just a thought.
