The healing spells are essential, of course.

I realize you referred to druids in the topic, but re: cleric spells I especially love all of these:

Bless
Command Word: Die
Entangle
Chant
Draw Upon Holy Might
Silence
Flame Blade (great for ghasts and ghouls in conjunction with Turn Undead)
Spiritual Hammer
Animate Dead
Strength of One
Defensive Harmony

There are other very good cleric spells, these are just my favorites .

Too bad the level 5 spells aren't available (even with the XP cap removed a normal game would be completed long before you ever amassed the required XP to become a level 9 cleric).

It is really cool to pump up the party for a major fight by casting Bless, Chant, Strength of One, and Defensive Harmony (and then personally Draw upon Holy Might).

As a cleric-thief I really enjoy casting Holy Might and Spiritual Hammer, hiding in shadows, and sneaking up on a target and backstabbing (or maybe 'backwhacking' is a better term). Shillelagh is also surprisingly effective backstab weapon for a cleric-thief.
