Sinway?

What areas are you trying to do? A big part of effectively using the build depends on flagging heroes behind you and taking aggro. In EotN I usually end up taking Eve for Mark of Fury and to support the monks with Blood Ritual. What I used to do was just rush in with everyone at one time, but when I came to a barrage boss in HM I flagged my heroes back and put protective spirit and spiritbond on me. It was really usefull, but I think im too lazy to do so at each mop....

Nah. Everything up to the Perfected Armor's group is a breeze, but there's just so many groups in succession there that it'd be difficult to do with a decent full party, let alone a 6-man party with the worst henchies in the entire game. With a full conset and a summoning stone I could probably pull it off, but I didn't feel like spending the time/money.

NM isn't difficult, though.
Yeah...i also ran into problems at the perfected armor. Out of the many times i've tried i've never made it past his group. However, apparently jeydra made it that far with all the rangers still alive which is very impressive.

On a side note, i started a nm run and decided to see how far i would get h/h when i was afk. Turns out my heroes killed everything up until the group with the 2 cairns :>

I finally accepted the reward for it and I'm already regretting it, it's one of the most enjoyable missions in GW imo.

Now given, I'm playing NM but I was finding that I was rolling through mobs so fast that the spirit spam hero wasn't really getting his spirits up in time to contribute anything to the fight. I went ahead and switched her out for an ER Protter variation that I was having maintain a protective bond on me at all times (and himself too). I'm playing through Nightfall right now and and just charging from mob to mob as fast as I can to see if I can get the Ele to drain his energy. So far he's doing fine. For example, I did the Rilohn Refuge mission and just charged into the the Drought at the end (masters) with no problem at all. This also freed up my MM to spec some points into curses to carry Mark of Pain (although I'm wondering if I should make him go Channeling instead now that I think about it). For NM, you can make do with anything you want, really. You shouldn't need an ER at all, though, as it's overkill and takes up a hero slot.

Even in NM, shadowstepping into a mob all by yourself without protective spells on you can get you gibbed too. It's just the way I tend to play the game, Leeroy Jenkins to the max... lol
