I think it's almost a must in the realm of torment. You can't even beat a group with 2 rain of torments with hench/hero's. 2 Deep freeze+2 Icy spikes and you're dead. And because there is always like 4-5 people in a town there you can't make proper human groups. How do you ever cap those elites? So a Spread or Scatter option will be the solution
Edit: The only way is taking 2 intterupting hero's and 2 healer+1 motivation. That dont give's any damage at all. It only gives you long enough time to kill 2-3.
Spread/Scatter option

I used henchies and heroes through the entire game with very few problems...You just need to rework your tactics.

If you lure the enemy it shouldn't be a problem..
and.. ALWAYS take 2 monks and 1 motivation. do not take more than 3 monks lol.
and someone who removes hexes works good too..
