Dancing Virginia - power gaming?
Not with a straight cleric and thief! The thief should always be MC or DC above all the other characters. That includes normal mode. The second most important character to MC or DC is the cleric class. A SC druid could also be of great help -- even if powergaming. They get good spells earlier and those shapechanges, but a F/D is even better, but they're hard to roll and take longer to come to full power.
The DD are slow, so I find ways to slow them further:
Grease
Web
Entangle
Spike Stones (I think this one can slow - not sure)
Death Fog
Shambling Mound - they can kick DD's ass as well.
