Oooh - I wouldn't fancy playing without a cleric.
OK, at higher levels the lesser healing spells are a bit redundant, but there are several good points about a cleric:

Can tank
Can turn undead
Use your cleric for dispel magic/invisibility and save your mage spell slots for offensive spells
Great offensive spells at higher levels, esp. against undead
Chant gives bonuses to the whole party - useful before a tough fight
Remove fear

And for druids:
Dispel magic/invisibility to save your mage's spell slots
Insect Plague (IMO the best way to disrupt enemy spellcasters - also causes panic)
Summon Fire Elemental
Bless gives bonuses to the whole party
Remove fear

------------------

Time is an illusion. Lunchtime doubly so.
