After doing Armory for 2 days now (I want some of his stuff for my enhancement Shammy)
So far I have only got the leggings and the Scarlet belt, everything else was won by other people :(.
Anyway, here is my strategy, I'll try to cover everything.
When you first reach Herods room, make sure everyone is full HP/Mana, buff everyone too.
Healers need to stay very alert, this guy truly hits like a truck.
Have the tank jump down to Herod and let him engage the fight, other DPS classes shouldn't start doing the damage right away, let the Warrior (or any other "tank") do some threat Damage and then start doing the damage. This is because Herod really hits heavy, Rogues should stay alert and don't grab his aggro, because the healer will quickly run out of mana for you.
Herod only has 2 abilities, one of them is really important and you should ALWAYS alert your group about it:
- When he yells "Blades of Light!" EVERYONE stop doing damage to him and back off from his range, he will engage in a spinning move that will eat your HP like a fat kid on pie. Take advantage of this though, he will stop for a few seconds for this attack and as long you are away from him, you can use bandages and save the healer some mana.
His other ability ( you can't really do anything about it) is when he yells "Light give me strength!" he will enrage (something like Blood Fury) and do even more damage, he will only use this later in the fight so healer pay extra attention to this.

Tips:
Stay in the ground, don't use the stairs, healers might miss the healing spells because you are running around like an idiot.
Hunters are the only ones that can damage Herod when he does his spinning move, Arcane shot won't work but the normal Auto shoot will, so use that.
Don't forget to call your pets when he starts his spinning move.
Make sure you have potions ready, early healers might run out of mana and that's never a good thing, use bandages when he does his spinning attack as well.

Herod has over 10k of HP, and he his partially immune to fire/frost/etc. It will be a long fight.
When you finally down him, loot him immediately and roll fast, the room will get flooded by lvl 20 peasants who only have 100 hp, but if your group struggled against Herod, they can sometimes hurt.
Either way they are quite easy to kill, just concentrate your group in one place and use a AoE. They will die fast enough. Check every body because one of them usually has a Scarlet Tabard, for all you fashion freaks out there :).
Hope this helps.
