Is the 1 less fire damage much of an issue? I'll be using the flaming dirk with it.
Not really that much of a difference.
On another note, and again this is my own opinion, I know that some players might do it differently. For mage and rogue classes, you will rely on Grissenda for you to achieve maximum damage output safely, so she needs to be strong. You can't flank during a fight if she's 'dead'. For that, I recommend giving her some of the Ancient Tolassian Tomes you will find, since companions only gain 1 trait point and 1 skill point per level (unlike the player who gains 2 or 3 per level). Maybe not all the Tomes, since the game will force you to play some parts solo, but I like to give her 8 or so by level 20, probably a few more by level 25. My ideal mage build would give Grissenda at least half the Tomes but Rogue might need more of the tomes for the final bits of the game, not sure. That's a rough number, I haven't bothered optimizing it yet for how many she (or you) would exactly need for a perfect build, just something for you to keep in mind.
