You don't have extra health or toughness, but you're a psyker; how much of that were you really expecting to get? Instead you have 7 little pips on your force sword's stamina bar plus Kinetic Deflection so you can block bullets like an ogryn.
Threats outside shocking range: sword out, approach while blocking to eat bullets for the team (unless you have a shield ogryn in front of you, but we both know you don't).
Threats in shocking range: shock, swap to sword and approach to deliver the emperor's mercy.
Threats in close range: shock with staff, pull out sword and advance to take some swings, block-push to retreat, shock with staff, repeat.
