Can anyone tell me where to find good builds for a hero team (7 heroes) that don't rely on elite skills?
With the new Guild Wars ability to have full hero teams, where can I find good non-elite builds for teams

Hi you should check out Massively's series The Road to 50 which goes into some depth and highlighting the easiest/more difficult statues to unlock. For me the easiest ones have been armour and minipets. The Skill hunter titles are loadsa fun and easy to get (4 titles with the Legendary one too). Sunspear points title is fairly easy, each of the Hero/Guardian ones are pretty easy to get too. Prices of a lot of materials have really shot up as a result of the HoM link, so beware. Don't buy now if you don't have to.
Please, remember to have fun. Nothing is worth boring yourself for. Grinding for titles/achievements is pointless if it's not fun.
I've managed to figure this out in the end, it involved allowing Koss and Goren to tank, and then using 'Pain Inverter' on Shiro when he activated Impossible Odds.
Victory! I've included the shot for skill reference and team makeup.

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.
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.
