Hello I know a lot of people are doing vanquishes and this is a team build that we used to vanquish nearly every area zone quickly and easily and requires just 1 human partner:
2 human Ursan Tanks
2 Hero Jagged Bones MM's
1 Hero Spiteful Spirit Necro
1 Hero Searing Flames Ele/2nd Spiteful Spirit Necro
2 Hero Healers (1 HB heal monk, 1 N/Rt healer)
This team uses the 2 MM's to form an army of minions who absorb enemy attacks and deal out high damagel using the buffs of Ursan Roar, Barbs, and/or Mark of Pain to quickly kill groups and vanquish zones.
-The Ursan tanks should equip rez sigs, any mantras that will be useful, and then any other skill you like to add. The Ursans take the aggro and chain their knock downs and ursan roars to increase the minion's damage.
-Jagged Bones MM's
Attributes:
Death: 16 (12+1+3)
Soul Reaping: 9 (8+1)
Curses: 10
Skills:
Jagged Bones
Animate Shambling Horror
Animate Bone Minions
Blood of the Master
Dark Bond
Infuse Condition
Signet of Lost Souls
Barbs, Mark of Pain or a Rez
-Note: some players like to equip their MM's with the Paragon skill Fall Back to increase party speed and provide a small heal at the same time.
-Spiteful Spirit Necro
Attributes:
Curses: 15 (12+1+2)
Soul Reaping: 11 (10+1)

Manually make your SS necro cast barbs often, with 18-20 minions up the damage caused by it will quickly kill anything the minions are hitting. Mark of Pain can also be a good skill to cause AoE damage instead of Insidious Parasite.

The only areas where this team build will not work well are in the zones with large amounts of undead or other enemies who do not leave corpses for the MM's to use. Otherwise your first few fights will most likely be the hardest while your MM's are gathering minions, once the minion armies are up the group should not need to stop or slow down again.
Happy vanquishing
