B737 captain reports being cleared for the VOR/DME 07 circle 25 cyrus visual app runway 25 at mroc. ...

Narrative:

Called mroc tower for weather and landing runway which was 07. Briefed arrival and ILS 07. 30 NM from airport ATC cleared us direct tomas which reduced the distance from mroc by 10 NM. Descend to 8;000 and cleared for VOR/DME 07 circle 25 cyrus visual app runway 25. When building VOR/DME 07 you then must build the cyrus visual because it is not in the database. Then when you select runway 25 it dumps the VOR approach that you have loaded. This occurred while descending in mountainous terrain IMC. If you then do not load runway 25 after the final fix on the visual; epabe; you will not have any vertical guidance. After epabe you are at 4;000 feet; 1;000 AGL flying into rising terrain. 2.7 NM from the end of 25 the terrain is 3;500 feet. You must descend after epabe; into rising terrain; while in a 30 degree bank; while making a 180 degree turn. We had several sink rate alerts but were stable at 500 feet and landed without incident.
