Whole branches dying having to be pruned out, some pale blotches on bark.

Sorry to say, but it may be coming to the end of its natural life. You
could try taking a cutting from the remaining green growths, or dig it
up and buy a new one - preferably to plant elsewhere.

Another possibility is cutting it right back and hoping for green shoots
in spring, but it may be slow to come back, if at all.
