Things have moved on since the simple paradigm where order=bad end. Blue is on our side now, more or less, and we have taken up some hitherto-masterless order power.
To my knowledge, it is not order so much as Jyggalag that gives us a bad end, although anything that leads us to be resubsumed into the mass of knights of order would also do it for us.
I don't think that plan will actually bring us any closer to a bad end, although risking Fast's death may. We know little of what happens when he dies, although we may well respawn at the monolith now that we have taken it over.
'Course, I don't really think that plan will work either, but you never know.
Anyway, I'm not sure your plan is quite optimal, so let's have a look at some numbers.
★Numbers is magic!★
We are pretty decent on the magicka front, so we can ignore that for the mo.
If the wiki is anything to go by, Heal Minor Wounds heals 8 health, compared to a weak healing potion's 20.
Since we have 4 of those, let's use them. If not now, when?
Second point: In terms of damage efficiency, standing power attack trumps flurry. One blow at 300% for 10 stamina compared to 3 blows at 100% for 15 stamina. This means that we should mostly only use flurry when our accuracy is compromised, or when being sure of doing some damage is more important than doing as much damage as we can.
Third: Our stamina regen is 6, basic attacks cost 5, and power attacks cost 10. Over the space of two turns, two regular attacks deals 200% damage, while resting then power-attacking deals 300% damage. (The two stamina point remainder is the same on both plans, and is thus irrelevant.)
Thus taking a healing-break whenever our stamina gets too low is both better for our survival, and better for our damage output.
Howsabout you vote Plan I Looked at the Numbers instead?
Plan I Looked at the Numbers:
[X] Move to interpose Medresi between us and the spider daedra, and try to keep it that way.
[X] In lieu of drinking them, since we have no mouth, yell "SKOL!" and smash a pair of Weak Potions of Healing on our head
[X] Sing the SpiderCrusher's Anthem in a deep, menacing, but still tuneful voice, emphasising the bounce in the metre, growing slowly louder over the course of the song, until you are bellowing the last line at your maximum volume!
[X] Use standing power attacks repeatedly on the mage until she dies.
-[X] If blinded, and stamina allows, use flurry
-[X] If stamina is too low to use a power attack, or if health gets worryingly low, take a turn to heal, with potions until they run out, then spells.

I've sent our Ordery friend into time-out land for now. Hes not feeling up to deciding here, bias and all.
I myself am leaning towards Plan I Looked at the Numbers. It's logic appeals to my Orderself and its blatent treating reality like a videogame appeals to my SVself.

With your sight dimmed by the poison spit coating your help it's hard to make out Medresi herself but the gleaming bubble shield around her is obvious. You scramble to put that between yourself and and spider daedra. The dark blur that you're pretty sure is the daedra starts circling right. You go left, keeping the shiny between you and her.
"Cowardly fly." The spider hisses. You don't care, you plan to live!
With that in mind you let a pair of health potions melt from your gauntlet. You hear the clink of glass on glass and the chink of glass on crystal. "SKOL!" With that you smash the two glass bottles into your face plate.
You feel warmer and a corona of golden light sweeps up and down your body. The glass shards tinkle to the white stone floor and the liquid in the two potions clears the venomous spit enough that you can see relatively clearly again.
Success! You rejoice in the power of sight for a moment, drinking in the white stone, the blue sky, silver shining shield, the spider daedra lunging at you from the left. Wait what! You turn just in time to raise your sword.
"Argh! No, bad spider!" You catch the pair of scythe sharp legs, or maybe they're arms it's hard to tell, on your blade. Chitin screeches against crystal and the shock radiates up your arms. With a grunt of effort you force the legs away and raise your sword above your head.
"Chitt'ring, scuttling, spinning web, Makes my calm and reason ebb!" It wouldn't be right if you did this without singing, now would it?
You bring the blade down on the shield like an anvil on the head of a cartoon character. It bounces, again, with a resonant low chime. More cracks spiderweb their way across the ball of silver light. It can't take much more, it's got to shatter soon.
"Spiders in your hearts know true: Shiny death has come for you!" It's a cheerful song, melody all bouncy and up beat.
"Just! Shut! Up!" The spider daedra snarls and sweeps at you with another pair of her sharp, pointy legs. You barely get your sword up in time and the effort to stop her shredding a hole through your armour leaves your arms shaking and a little numb.
"Fast be nimble, fast be quick, Fast not blind by spider-trick." You think the spider daedra might be slightly angry now.
You raise a hand and perform the special finger twiddle that sends twin helices of white light up and down your body. You feel better instantly, a little less like you've had a giant spider beating on you for several minutes.
"Fast be angry, Fast be strong, Fast be kill-" SNKT
A sharp chitin spider leg punches through your elbow and that feeling goes away. She stabbed you. She stabbed you through your bloody elbow!
"Not singing now are you?" The spider daedra wrenches and her leg twists free with an agonised shriek of resistant crystal. There's a hole where your elbow should be. You can see right through it to the white stone floor. You flex your fingers. They still work fine.
Right then.
With an animal roar, sword in both hands you turn and strike. A huge horizontal sweep at waist height. Crystal blade meets aetheric shield with a mighty crunch and the sphere of silver energy buckles, stoving inwards around your sword. In seconds it's a flicker of silver sparkles in the wind and Medresi, red eyes wide and blue skin pale, stares, mouth open.
"NO!" The spider daedra leaps at you with her first two legs ready to punch through your torso and into the ruined wall beyond.
You duck. The spider daedra misses, flying right over you with a curse. You raise your sword at touch it to Medresi's throat. She looks utterly terrified now that there's cold steel, well cold crystal, pressed against her skin.

Uhahahaha what's a schedule anyways? Sorry it's been a while again have a free update!
