I've personally been toying with the idea of getting the Water 9 (quickness) blessing for Pan. Centaur Hierophants come with a rather decent precision and would be a real force with things like bow of war (heck, who needs longbow centaurs anyway :PP, actually I usually try to recruit some indep longbows instead of using centaur longbows even though they're rather good). Dryads and White Centaurs (they already got berserk and the defence boost is really major for them since it's high to begin with - just look at the probabilities) would also benefit vastly from this.
While it's true that Pan was rather weak in Dom1 I still managed to win couple o' games with it (okay, mostly thanks to hordes of Ice Devils). I haven't received my full Version yet so I can't really comment the effectiveness of current Pan stealth troops but overall it seems that the nation has received a slight boost (even though the troops aren't as heavily armoured as before) especially magic wise as the previously nearly useless Earth magic is now a force to be reckoned with. Also, Nature magic got a huge boost in Dom2 (actually I think that sorcery [astral, death, nature] paths are now clearly superior to elemental magic).
