You can allocate some points into Sacred Armor and use it proactively when you know you will take a lot of damage. Helps me with my paladin who is currently Level 127. He is very geared though so I'm not sure how much Sacred Armor helps at a lower level. Mine gives me about 80000 defense (counting bonuses, not flat) and 850 life regenerated per second.

Mana leech won't help, as it scales with weapon damage. Look for +40 mana on attack MO.

Thing is, this setup gives you a TON of free skill points. So why not smax Possession, as it gives def and FHR? And why stop at 5pts in Rapture? You may hit the breakpoints already, but recasting it all the time isn't fun.

I'd say, farming Duncraig as UHM is cancer one way or another. Mine is lv 123, got almost complete Malthael set and a couple of SUs, 17.5k HP, I think I hit 6fps breakpoint... and I never get further than room behind Skinrender, or what's the first miniboss' name. My def is crap, souls have >60% chance to hit me, and if three or more are attacking me at the same time, you guess what happens.
Teleporting past the wall is just a deathwish. Doesn't matter if I freeze those suckers with Divine Apparition or stun them with Blink, I never managed to last more than two seconds after the teleport.

This build doesn't struggle with various trash mobs (it does have low-medium single target at best though) and it is more of a mindset thing than anything else to clear bigger packs. Amazing grace procs very often with 5fpa and with smaxed sanguine covenant you ensure that you are healing for at least 4k/sec while fighting stuff. One thing though is that sometimes you get the visual effect from blood thorns but you technically aren't in range so you aren't "leeching" (this might be a realm feature) but it happens often enough to be mentioned, I recommend divine apparition directly on the feet of whatever dudes you are fighting when this happens.

You can always throw some more filler points in rapture if you aren't hitting your breakpoints and smaxed blood thorns will eventually get annoying to play with if you ever do stuff like dimensional lab or any boss for that matter because your blood thorns cost will outpace your mana on attack hard. Gear a a5 merc with basic stuff and teleport with him + hoplites.
The spec is easily in a better spot than holy melee atm (much tankier in raw EHP and 200k less defense feels more tanky due to 5fpa/avoid).

The skill points were more of a guideline what you do with the free points is up to you. As for the recasting part you have to recast sanguine every 60 seconds anyway so just recast both xD.

I would suggest farming Fauzt and then switch to strictly bossing.

It does struggle as a lemures spec in duncraig/bremmtown as it doesn't have direct AoE.

Bloodthorns/Divine Apparition spec not so much.
