If you choose Istishia as your patron deity, you other domain choices are Destruction, Ocean, Storm, and Travel. Ocean has two spells that are identical to the Water domain's, so that's a clear loss of versalitilty, and the domain power to breath water for a limited number of rounds per day is simply useless to a Water Genasi. Out of the three others, I'd say Travel is the best choice. It grants Survival as a class skill, so you can be the party's tracker if there's no Druid or Ranger, and most of the spells are very useful and normally not available to clerics. Spells like Fly, Dimension Door, and Teleport are always good choices. Storm isn't a bad domain, but most of its spells are only useful in very specific situations, like Gust of Wind or Control Weather. And Call Lighning or Call Lightning Storm just won't work underwater. Instead of Water/Ocean/Storm for your domains, I'd go for Water/Travel, and then maybe Destruction if you plan to take 20 levels of cleric or Storm otherwise. And as for "cleric of Istishia/water shugnai", assuming cleric shugnai means shugenja, I hope the slash is meant as an "or" because I can't see a single good reason why anyone would take levels in both the cleric and shugenja classes.
