Found the solution!

I decided to start from scratch, made a "stupid mistake" and got the desired result!

Originally I applied displacement on the texture and it looked dull and flat. When accidentally applying displacement to the shape instead, I had the effect I wanted.

Hope this helps someone sometime...
