Human has better stats all around - more STR which is great if you are a nub and can't buy weight reduction bags, more STA, and significantly more CHA which is great for calms. The 8 less wisdom is completely negligible. It is incredibly easy to hit WIS softcap in Kunark and in Velious it will be a complete joke. The Fear clicky is a total bonus as well. Hide is nowhere near as good as it was before it got nerfed and you can arguably live without it.
I have been friends with excellent Human and Dark Elf inny clerics and they are great players and (circumstantially) equally effective. Really at the end of the day its all up to whether or not you know how to root CC, calm and atone effectively, keep a fast heal in your spell bar, know when to get heal agro and pop DA, and all those other goodies that your run-of-the-mill LCY cleric just doesn't quite understand.
