3) When I equip nothing, I do not parry, but I get hit less than with a non-swords weapon equipped (HUH?)
4) When I equip a bloodspirit talisman, with a mace weapon, I get hit MUCH less (HUH?)
5) When I equip a bloodspirit talisman with empty hands, I get hit even less than just empty hands.

Maybe you figured this out in the meantime, but I'll speak up anyways. You were getting hit less surely because of Anatomy (ie the Anatomy + Eval Int wrestle defense). That is also the reason you want to equip a non proficient weapon to train parry, rather than going unarmed, to remove Anatomy from the Defense equation. I have no idea why a bloodwood spirit should help you in defense.
And I've always used Deer to train my parry, along with a few suits of non runic dull copper to max out phys resist on the cheap.
