Yeah, AOE stomp range is just a yard or so shorter than cleric's heal range, to give you an idea. The 2.5k damage fire breath isn't very small either.
As for what level, well . . . clerics should be able to survive the AOE at 46, but the definite lowest I would suggest is 47, because it's key to have clerics able to rebuff quickly when people die as much as they do in Dragon. Even then, the higher the better. You will get agro, and if you have two red mobs on you and the Dragon decides to AOE drop, good chance you're toast. That's not even counting getting agroed by the uber-mobs at the end spawn. So having level 50 armor is a big help, IMO. If you want to try it out earlier than that, go for it, but bring extra scrolls, full HP/SP stones as well as T3 HPs, and don't be surprised if you eat dirt a few times.
(At the same time, if you're careful and stay out of range, it's possible you won't die at all. It all depends on well the agro is handled, which depends on luck with what tanks get in/don't.)
