She doesn't seem to have any real defense to getting mirror-dimensioned.

Can he perform such a maneuver while defending himself?

Don't see why not, it's all of a hand wave to those guys.

Maleficent can turn Strange into a mouse or put him to sleep just by lifting her finger. Dr. Strange is overall more powerful, but he loses in a quickdraw, similarly to how Ebony Maw subdued him.

Can you show me a clip? Did it involve putting themself in the mirror dimension as well?

She's not exactly weak herself.

She exits from what appears to be a partial tornado (created from her own power) at a somewhat alarming speed before pulling a Drogon on the castles defenses.

Eh, that's not necessarily clear.

Strange appears to try to use it on Thanos without going into the mirror dimension and fails, but Thanos has the IG there with 4 stones and uses that to block it.

The Ancient one does it with a handwave a few times, though she walks into it herself seemingly voluntarily, in the combat-related feat, she's much stronger there then her opponents there, so it makes sense that she'd go there.

I'll give the film another watch at some point to try to make a better call on that.

She also shot a magic bolt to the sky that could be seen all the way to the King's castle and darkened the entire Moors region, and broke apart stones merely walking past them.

I say strange

Also she has weaknesses he could exploit

What's your reasoning for Strange?

She is weak against Iron, yes, but she doesnt exactly keel over like Superman to Kryptonite.

[Wonder-ful woman]

Maleficent wins because she's pretty.
