I am making a level 12 Cleric of Desna for a Pathfinder game and I am trying to decide on the best domain choices. It is very tough since Liberation, Travel and Luck (Fate subdomain) are such amazing choices. I know, I know, - if only all characters had this problem :)
Right now I am tempted to go for Travel and Fate, but Liberation seems as if it will help the party more than Travel. However, the +20 extra speed boost (+10 base +10 Longstrider), mini-teleport and spells from Travel are exceptionally strong also. And the reroll ability of Fate seems incredible. So what are people's practical experiences with these domains?
The DM has indicated that he isn't going to cut us any slack, and I have taken the Second Chance trait:
"Once per day, when you fail a saving throw, you can reroll the saving throw. You must take the second result even if it is worse."
and am planning to take the Divine Intervention feat:
"As an immediate action, when an enemy within 30 feet hits an ally with an attack, you can sacrifice a prepared divine spell or (if you are a spontaneous caster) an unused spell slot and make the enemy reroll the attack roll."
I am also planning on taking the
Spell Focus (conjuration)
Augment Summoning
Superior Summoning
feats and was wondering if it was worth bothering with Sacred Summon, as this could be replaced with a Rod of Quicken. And if I use a Rod of Quicken could I get TWO castings of summons out in a single round without the Sacred Summons feat? And am I right in thinking that if I have the Sacred Summons feat and use a Rod of Quicken I could get two sets of summons out in a single round that could act in that round?
Or are there any other comments or suggestions?

For me the answer lies in what archetype you will take. You need fate if you plan to mess with folks beyond yourself a lot and liberation technically better. However some spells by those domains are so good you easilly argue going ecclisitheurge or theologian just to use them regularly. How do you plan on fighting? I'm guessing not with spells because of divine intervention. Because of the power of luck domain and subdomains plus divine intervention you may even want to think about dipping a level of dual cursed oracle.
I'd go travel if you can't 30 feet on your own and go liberation if you can just because the difference between the two is pretty small in a vacuum.
