One of the most important things is to develop your spellcasters properly. In particular, you want them to have protective spells and group disabling spells early on. Enchanted Blade, Armorplate, Missile Shield are the first to come along. Then Noxious Fumes. Insanity. Your bishop and mage between them can learn these by the time you head out from the monastery.
Magic screen is another one to have; you can usually buy this from Braffit. Later you can learn Element Shield and Soul Shield.
Bloodlust is a nice weapon, but not worthwhile for the straight Fighter. Fighters can fight berserk naturally. Give it to your thief, who will do great damage with it. They always attack via backstab for 2x damage, and Bloodlust's berserk mode will bring that to 3x.
