Melee Cleric Advice

[Syllph]

So I've got one more cleric life to grind out for the PL. I've done a pure heal bot, i've done a smiting spec'ed/necro spec'ed nuker-type. Since it's my last cleric life I figured I'd try to have a bit of fun and go melee.

I'm completionist a full range of +3 tomes and I have all the toys you could imagine

All that being said, how can I make a cleric melee? The group I'm with is static and they know I won't be healing too much so I'm free to gimp the heals and wisdom side (if that's needed)

I'm assuming I need a base 17 CHA (+3 tome) for the Divine Might Lines. It'll probably be a THF. (Though I could go monk I have lovely wraps or TWF I have a pair of lovely LitIIs.

Big questions, race and class breakdown.

I won't stay at 20 longer than about 3 sec so end game is not my goal, it's 1-19. I'm not looking to win awards for uber DPS or tank raids just some melee fun 1-19.
