I honestly wouldn't be surprised if the OP's build vanquished everything - I like how people assume vanquishing is hard in the first place when it often isn't. Kill mob, plenty of time to stop and regen, repeat on next. Repetitive yet not-so-challening process.
Trying to claim this build is better than "Sabway" (as the PvE'ers call it), or any other well-setup team build is also silly. There's tons of builds that will win HM. Many people seem to blindly copy/paste 3hero builds and expect the same results everyone else gets. They seem to forget that the human player's bar often has the biggest impact on the team yet they often leave it out when posting builds. The OP has a list of areas he couldn't vanquish, but I'm pretty sure it'd be different if somethin other than Ursan is used. Ursan becomes insane when there's 6 on the team - it mean's that besides the 2 squishy healers, more than half the team is heavily armored and has 200+hp, and that makes stuff easy. That doesn't apply when there's only 1 ursan there. Some builds work better than others depending on the situation, obviously. There's always room for improvement in every build.
If you want a real challenge though, do Slaver's Exile HM - props to anyone that can complete it. Seriously....it's insane.

Honestly, I've never used an SS hero. The truth is SS actually sucks. The reason it's used is just another case of not really having any better options to choose from. I actually used SS on my nec for ages. I was dissapointed when it jumped back to 15e (after temporarily being 10e) for abit because it's hardly worth the 15e cost sometimes. It's bad against casters usually which are often the bigger threats, and sure while it may be good against phys attackers, those can be shutdown easily by a curse nec anyways. SS requires the target to be alive to do damage, and still even then needs some time to actually do decent damage. In the time I've used it in HM, I've found it to be a pretty lacking elite. Now when were talking about using on a hero, it becomes even worse. They're rarely gonna use it on the good targets. And they might even slap it on a near-dead enemy. If you looked at the other elites in curses, they're all bad for PvE. Too conditional and PvP-based. The result is you're stuck using SS.
One of the best things that a nec hero can bring is Enfeebling Blood, which can be slapped on a x/N. The "synergy" with minions looks good on paper, but minions attack whoever they want, and the same applies to heroes if you're not targeting for them. I'm not saying I'd take a fire Ele over a curse nec, because I don't really like fire ele heroes, but I actually wouldn't take either.
