Hmdin but not tanky?
Incarnation give you life leech.
Dragonheart give you tcd.
Blessedlife give you dr%.
Full str mean you can use highest base defense gear easily.

Maybe start tinkering your char first and then think about merc.

Afaik nephilim spirit is only for wearer, it won't affect you. If you want to have buffs/crowd control, act 5 merc is way to go. Give him qaraks will if you want him to also cast high leveled bloodlust. Otherwise I would go for high damage 2h crafted sword,

Of course it does, it will be just using single handed damage instead of two handed
