No amount of extra healer DPS from a few more seconds of Cleric Stance is ever going to outweigh a Warrior in Deliverance. Fell Cleave crits are just that large a burst (pre-VIT change, a FC from a i210 Warrior back during Gordias Savage would rival Fire IV from a BLM for biggest single burst from a crit - approximately 11k, iirc, outside of Ravana Vuln Up scenarios). This is still the case post-VIT changes.
I can't speak for DRK or for PLD, but I know this to be the case for WAR.

It's possible if you know the fight well, both healers and tanks can do decent dps (about 1/3 of the dps in our static). Obviously in pugs it's a lot harder. I typically just do dps stance on bosses, as they actually tend to hit weaker than large pulls (and are easier to keep aggro on).
