CB gear - no different than gear for dclone, howl for crowd control (getting swamped by a bunch of concentration powered mobs is a "killer").

Just don't forget to have a life tap dagger|wand ready, or a pair of Marrowwalk, for when heralds come with thorns aura.
Additionally, be sure that your char & merc both have no chance to overwrite life tap, on the herald himself, as well as on all surrounding mobs if you decide to take down the whole pack.

If I were to go sunderhunting with a barb I would make it a caster/singer who can bo a team and hork efficiently.
Stack him with mf gear and + skills gear and afk in town of a p8 game as a filler, who asks for a tp whenever a herald dies.

I have seen several of these barbs in my split runs and they actually tend to find more sunders than the actual hunters.
big bonus is that they have watched 2 movies or done some work in between as well.

This is more passive way way

I tend to hunt/hork myself and hork for other players, if they call for it.
