I'm playing my first dual-class character and I waited until the character was maximized to dual. The fabulous Fighter/Cleric. I held out to level 13 for her so that my main weapon [the almighty Defender Mace] gets 3.5 attacks/round. That also gives me 3 points for the sling.
It is best to do this in Heart of Fury mode, so I would say to those who are not...probably dual any character earlier. You usually dual someone to what you need them more for in the later game.
I look at the Mage/Cleric like this:
The mage is more helpful in the later game and the cleric in the earlier game.
A mage (even in HoF mode and probably not a specialist) can almost take an area on by him/herself, but a cleric would have to run for his/her life! The mage can do their own buffing mid to late game...buff and blast, I say.
