Are you "activating" your merc first? There is a bug where the mercs are not "turned on" until you let them go kill some weak mobs first. Before you do your run go into the cold plains and let your merc hit stuff. He will suddenly speed up and run fast and give you the bloodlust proc from Qarak's Will. Give him; Qarak's, Bogspitter rw helm and the best armor you can find for him. There is an ammy i have on mine that gives him 100 life when he gets hit so helps him stay alive often. He can run Fautz w me and not die at all. On my merc I use
Qaraks
Bogspitter
Marchosias's armor/belt(HUGE str bonus)
Locket of dreams ammy
eth hammerfists
shrill sacrament boots
The gloves and boots arent the best options but they work atm.
Also you wanna put some Nih runes in his gear so when he procs bloodlust it lasts longer.
