Ok, this is an extremly tough area to venture into playing as a derv. I have no problems here with other characters, so im thinking im needing a better build and most definatly taking one of my hero's as a prot monk, one as a party support paragon, and i need some suggestions for the 3rd hero.
Has anyone had any sucess with this area with hero/hench as a dervish?
If so can you give any advice, my biggest problem is being a meele character and effectivly pulling groups away from other groups, that is much easier as a ranged character.

You can try one of the builds i use as a Dervish (posted somewhere in this forum but im too lazy to search so here):

Reveral of Fortune
Prot spirit
Crippling Sweep
Chilling Victory
Heart of Fury
Avatar of Dwayna [E]
Mending Touch
Rez/SoCapture/free

8 prot prayers, 15 mysticism, rest is scythe
You can use starter armor if you want.
Scythe is ideally 15% while enchanted, and 20% longer enchants (plus i use sundering but it's not that important)

Remember that casting RoF will be free (zero energy) and you'll negate up to 165dmg with it (50 heal 50 mitigate 50 dwayna 15 mysticism) every 2 seconds if need be. Keeping prot spirit on yourself is easy and should be done almost all the time.

You dont need to pull anything with this, just charge in and prot yourself like mad while doing more dmg than a warrior because of AoE you do (and Chilling Victory is awesome).

As for Heroes, you can use henchies with this i think. Im not sure what hero build would work the best in Domain of Fear as i mostly use heroes elsewhere, but you go here and check my 3rd post (after i tweaked the build):

I still use the same hero build, except that on Dervish (with that hero build) i use Melandru+Wearying Strike n Wild Blow combo.

i ran an RC Prot monk, a Searing Flames ele with an interrupter ranger

the interrupt helped a ton with the Dryders
