I'd suggest perfect maneuverability.
A shortsword for a Fine creature would do 1 point of damage. A longsword for a Fine creature would deal 1d2 points of damage.
The attack bonus would be +0 BAB +8 size -4 Str, giving +4 total. If we gave them Weapon Finesse (which would limit them to shortsword), it would be +0 BAB +8 size +6 Dex, giving +14 total.

I’m thinking that perhaps since the original damage was “1 or 2” the longsword would be the better choice. Thinking about it more, weapon finesse should be unnecessary. They are supposed to be completely ineffective combatants as individuals, so a +4 attack bonus with 1d2-4 damage is a-OK. When they attack as a group, they will have a higher BAB and Str score (so I say), so at that point they will not only hit better but do more damage.
So, attack and full attack lines should read:
Longsword +4 melee (1d2-4)

wish i had more time to spend today, but i'm going home early. here are some things to think about if you get a chance:
Skills: 28? (Perform-sing, Hide +16 for size)
and they need a feat, too.
Faerie Formation (Ex): Flitterlings can form into a group of 5 that is able to attack a single target as if it was a single creature. Such a grouping of flitterlings has a BAB of +2, an AC of X, a Str score of X, and otherwise has the same statistics as an individual flitterling. For every point of damage done to this group of flitterlings, one flitterling is killed (maximum of 5 per group hit). Such a group cannot consist of more or less than 5 flitterlings, and if any are killed or leave the group breaks up. Forming a group is a standard action.

Skills: Escape Artist 4, Hide 4, Knowledge (nature) 4, Listen 2, Move Silently 4, Perform (sing) 4, Sense Motive 4, Spot 2
Feat: Either Dodge, Agile, or Skill Focus (Perform [sing])
For Faerie Formation, I wouldn't increase Strength. Most swarms have a Strength of 1. Instead, I'd give them a morale bonus of +5 on attack rolls (borrowed from the Swarmfighting feat in Complete Warrior) and a +5 competence bonus to AC. Maybe also state that they cannot be flanked (since they've "got each others' backs")?
