Unless you have a very good reason to not use elites, you should never be without an elite on any skill bar. If you simply do not have any elites unlocked yet, you should stick with henchmen and go capture some (or unlock via balthazar faction).

The only good hero builds I can think of that do not benefit greatly from having an elite is a minion master and a n/rt healer.

update If its the case where you simply don't have too many elites to use and don't want to put too much effort to obtain more, even a few elites is better than none, and it may help if you posted the ones available.

updated after available elites are posted

Barrage and word of healing are two very good elites, you can easily build a pretty straight forward woh healer monk with that for support purposes. Barrage is also a great elite for a spliter/barrage ranger (assuming you have access to ritualist skills).

Here is a good hero party build designed around splinter/barrage: Bring Acolyte Jin, Margrid, and Pyre, give them all distracting shot, barrage, volley, savage shot, lightning reflexes, res sig (or resurrection of choice), and put favorable winds on at least 2 of them.

Bring along either Razah or Xandra with max channeling and spliter weapon and some channeling spirits to spam.

Bring along a necro hero of choice with max death magic, 8 soul reaping, 10 channeling (backup splinter weapon), with bone minions, death nova, and bone fiends (great synergy with favorable winds)

Finally, bring along a woh hero and a protection henchie.

That should make a fairly formidable party for just about every none elite zone in the game.
