The only benefit a cleric recieves over a favored soul is the Radiant Servant PrE. Assuming a high enough AC (17 Clr/2 Mnk/1 Rog or Ftr can obtain this relatively reliably), Radiant Servant would enable a cleric to maintain some healing, ignore all grazing hits, and so forth. I do have an intimicleric who works out rather well, though she's sorely hurting for some Icy Raiments at this point.
The quick answer is, "No. 8 Wisdom on a cleric, even with an intimitank role, is not suggested. Splash monk instead."
