Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think the fairy suffers any penalty to healing potency while you are under Cleric Stance. So if the fairy is enough to keep people alive for ~10 seconds, spending some time to help DD with Cleric Stance > BioII/Miasma/Bio > Bane > Shadow Flare can speed up dungeon runs by quite a bit.
Good points, I'll add this in later.

I believe the fairy's stats depend on your's when you summon her, so if she's already out and you use cleric stance her potency won't suffer. At least that's what I've heard, I haven't tested that much
