Cleric skills are some of the slowest in the game. Offering is the only big plus I see as a cleric attacker - in pvp. Well, that plus the ability to tank decently. And yeah, it's rare to see a pure cleric in a party since a lot of people have the sub. But a cleric main maybe with march/noise would have a ton of buffs and definitely should be welcomed in party.

I'm not sure, but I can't see a cleric leveling all that quickly. I think you'd be better off making bard your primary.

Yeah, I would assume they could indeed solo well, since they can self-buff if they have the cleric rod out, but again their skills are slower than most.

From what I see in my cleric sub they still only get two attacks with at least a 3 second cooldown and one with a 6 second cooldown. I think two of the three may be on the same timer though.

I would go with bard as a main, it has the fastest nukes in game with nuke power=chinese nukes, so u can 1-2 hit everything depending on ur gear. it would also save u from using mp pots so its more money efficient.

Trial cross/justice cross are on the same cooldown. Same for over/glut healing, so basically two attacks. I got on olympus to test and justice cross looks cool but it does not seem as powerful as a Chinese nuke.

Bard skills hit much faster even though they are less powerful. I can get two nukes off compared to one antidevil bow. Or two nukes in the time a wiz casts the fire nuke (not the meteor one).

Just make bard as your attacker if you get a good harp go to mobs your level maybe even a couple higher and hoon around with march and one shot everything with insane speed.. the best advice i can give you but is just try join as many partys as you can and play the cleric buf role..
