I am goign to be playing in a RotRL game and am looking for input. Specifics:
Race: Dwarf(race is set)
stats rolled: 17,15,15,13,13,11
books: CRB for races and classes APG with GM permission
god: Gorum
I have read Tarks guide but am looking for suggestions on how to build a good battle cleric that can still help the group.

Make sure to do everything you can to maximize your AC and your saves. Holy vindicator can really make a great tank/survivable cleric. Given the enemies in that campaign and the huge amount of damage they inflict, healing is really important.
I would suggest steel soul and glory of old for save boosts, and to something like 15,13,17,13,19,9 with your ability scores. That will really help your saves and your spell DCs. Get yourself a cloak of resistance and the best armor, shield, and one handed weapon you feel like. High Armor will help a lot, and 13 int makes combat expertise an option to increase AC further. I would take selective channel if you like, and really after that any feats are up to you.
I'd really suggest getting into holy vindicator as soon as possible, since its benefits are really helpful overall. As for domains, not really familiar with cleric stuff for gorum, I've normally seen sun and some other stuff be really useful.

For stats you are suggesting Str 15,Dex 13, Con 17, Int 13, Wis 19, and Cha 9? Why put charisma so low? My original stat lay out was Str 17, Dex 13, Con 17, Int 11, Wis 17, Cha 11 (after racial adjustments). I guess party make up of Druid, Wizard, Barbarian, Rogue/Ranger. I will be the only one in heavy armor starting at 8th level.
