Its hydraulic you wamt - hydrated lime is quicklime.
NHL 3.5 will probably be OK for pointing, and is as easy to work with as cement mortar.
I tend to buy the pre-pack stuff (20kg aggregate, 5kg lime, with the aggregate colour matched) for ease, at £10 a pop.
When I get round to rendering, I'll be buying a 500kg bag for £80/ish.
