Ideally I'd like another 1-2 Perfect Clarity, but sadly I only own 2. I'm thinking I need a little more block/bounce denial, maybe another 2 Blind Spot and some seduction instead of some combat?

this is a nasty powerbleed deck, id tweak the crypt a bit , remove one enzo and one gillespi for another Ambrogino advanced and a Le Din Tho

Ambrogino has basic auspex, so you might add one or two revelations to draw nasty archon investigations and telpathic missdirections.

Looks good Ed, but i think it will have its problems with most Wall oder Allie-Decks. Your maximum stealth on a bleed is +2 and you can only prevent 2 minions from blocking. Perhaps add some seductions to the deck. Perfect clarity only helps against DOM bounce, so Le din tho will help you to get rid of those AUS bouncers (and Lost in translation).

oh, by the way ,to get rid of this ally trouble , you might swap 2-3 governs for slaughtering the herds

Le Din Tho is definitely killer, since he can strip Deflections from hand, so you needn´t always to use your THA against bounce and it works against AUS as well. Another underestimated card is Prophecies of Gehenna, perfect for checking for A.I before lunging for the oust.

Le Dinh Tho would definately make a nice addition - with just 2 drawbacks. The complete lack of potence, and the complete lack of anything from Bloodlines in my collection! (curses!) I don't think I'd take out Enzo - his special is my main vote defence, especially against cross-table dealings.

I'll see if I can find a copy from somewhere, and if not then revelations might be an interesting backup.

Slaughtering the Herd might work well too, I'll go along with that. Ambrogino probably wouldnt like being blocked by warghouls, after all...

Here's an updated version: I took out the increased strengths to make way for seductions, and also replaced the undead strengths with dead hand - I have more NEC than POT, after all.
