Holy Champ + Cadence is usually good enough for that sort of thing in a more pew pew Cadence-oriented spec, but yeah, Virtuoso is still pretty money.
As for the spec itself, not sure you're gaining enough to really justify going above 10 in MM. You might honestly get more mileage out of something like 38 Bard/18 NB/10 MM for what you want to do (still keep the builder at range, still keep all the buffs, add some % to your healing, get the out-of-combat rez, add AoE heal debuff w/ Fan Out + Fell Blades, plus some passive % builders, get Twilight Shelter as your "oh [expletive]" button). Since the intent is to stay at a safe distance, you might get more mileage out of that, even if you are eschewing GP and the like.
Something like...
38 Bard/18 NB/10 MM.
I mean, I could be misinterpreting what you want this spec to do. If you want the spec to pop a little more into the lines and play as bait, then by all means, dump points into RS -- though, again, I don't know if you gain enough going past 10 (or 11 for OTD) in MM, so you might want to tune for a 34/21/11 or 34/22/10 and grab some more durability from RS.
