would this tanker be able to herd and kill his own herds?

Ice/Fire would. 
Edit: Just to add - You won't be able to herd, it has a lot of -slows and -rechg for aoes. -dmg i think too. It's horrible for herding.
Ice r teh herdz.
Fire r teh aoez.
You heard me!
Yes it can herd, the kill or be killed factor comes down to what you are trying to herd. When i am watching telly i may decide to solo, herd some and let mudpots do the work.

would it be any fast at killing the herds?
Depending on what you are fighting with/without support and depending at what level my answer will go from a yes to a no. Looking at it I think this is meant to be a final respec build in which you never come out of granite because you wont last 5 mins without the right support unless its for the mineral armour against pure psionic enemies. Your looking for accuracy to come from rage in which case could be equal to not much more than 1 accuracy SO and wont be perma and the damage boost to come from rage when in granite, it has good recharge in the attacks which is too good imo and poor endurance which is too poor. So depending on what you are fighting and when in thinking about your cycles of self buffs it does matter because the question will be can you sustain the damage for the amount of time it takes to hit them enough times to kill them including misses and any running low on endurance in the process. Considering the end drop of rage and the eps of the attack chain i wouldnt want it but if i am permanently partnered up say with an empath with whom in teams you can claim almost undivided attention for example and in permagranite it can do well.

Stone can herd just fine, and better than fire as it can take the pounding better. You have teleport so mocing quickly isn't an issue if you need to.
As for killing the herds quickly? Tanks don't kill very quickly. Period and with anoticeable absence of end recs it looks like endurance could be an issue at least until after you get granite and the -recharge on all your attacks solves that.
Herd: Yes
Kill all: Yes
Kill quickly: No

Against some enemies you wont have a hope in hell of hitting them especially as they may have lowered your accuracy, swatting mid air is going to lose you endurance with no damage done, even the damage component of mudpots can miss. This has been a bit of a "how long is a piece of string?" type post as if every enemy of every level will be the same that land you with no secondary effects. If you have a high level scrapper with no accuracies and no endurance enhancements that is not a regen then you would get an idea of just how inaccurate and exhausting this type of tanker maybe. If your end is buffed and your accuracy is buffed or the res and def of the enemy is lowered then you maybe ok within limits.
