I'm a bit unclear as well - it sounds like you're going unholy melee. I love the Paladin skill layout, but it can be a bit confusing. There's holy and unholy, melee and caster, and light and shadow influences too.
Unholy melee is a bit of a strange build because it's a melee character, but your skills all do elemental damage, so you'll need to pump Energy (not STR and VIT) to boost damage. Typically you whack something with Terror Strike, then use Blood Thorns or Lemures. In TUs

is nice. Notice how the weapon stats are mostly about spell damage and reducing enemy resistances? That's kinda the idea behind the build.
Don't forget to take one of the 'vessels' from the Light or Shadow influence trees (you can only use one) - some of the unholy caster skills are useful as well, Tainted Blood and Stormlord especially.
