Step 5 should really be step one. If you're getting attacked get reinforcements, from your other cities or your alliance. Unless your loyalty is 1 this is the first thing you should do!

1. Never close your gates unless yo're a, 100% sure that you can't defeat the oncoming wave AND b, your troops losses would be especially significant AND there's reinforcements enroute. In 9 times out of 10 you want your gates open to kill as many of the attackers troops as possible.

2, If you have troops use them to fight! Doh.

3, Good suggestion, especially if PG is high.

4, The very very last resort. Remember you can always truce/teleport. Also, while you're online, unless your opponent is one tile away spamming you with attacks, it will be very hard for them to take your city. Just follow step 3 until reinforcements arrive.
