Ok, so I am planning on going with a wizard (universal)/cleric (Sarenrae)/mystic theurge build and I ran into something weird.
For the most part, it seems like Domain powers are not very Cleric Level dependent, let me give you an example
I've got the domains of Fire and Healing, both give a benefit at first and fourth level, but neither lists any requirement fr those levels to be cleric levels.
meaning if I make it to 4th level without dying some horrible sharpened piece of metal related death in the interval and I'm a 1st level cleric and a 3rd level wizard I will gain fire resistance 10 and a free +50% bonus to all my cure spells because I am 4th level, not because I am a fourth level cleric...
am I reading that right?
Same goes for the 8th level universalism power btw, though the amount of times I can do it is definitely wizard level dependent.
Well, it seems you're overlooking a few important sentences. Under the Cleric: Domains: Class Features it says specifically 'Each domain grants a number of domain powers, dependent upon the level of the cleric, as well as a number of bonus spells.'
Then further on under the Domains title it says: 'In addition, the cleric gains the listed powers from both of her domains, if she is of a high enough level.'
Both of these mention that cleric levels are needed to obtain the domain powers, not just general character levels.

Also keep in mind that healing is going to apply only to cure spells, so if you're mainly going to be curing with channel positive energy, you may not want to go that domain route.
