It's in fact HoT, ie. Herald of Thunder. I prefer Herald of Ice personally, it adds more to clear speed and has less int requirement.

CoH will work on herald secondary effect (be it HoT or HoI), which happens very often since we this is a crit build with high freeze capacity (thanks to Hatred) and moderate chance to shock (if HoT is used, high if physical to lightning is used on your bow skill(s)).

Check both herald's description:

HoI: If you shatter an enemy, they explode and deal AoE cold damage to enemies near them.
HoT: If you kill a shocked enemy, lightning bolts will strike enemies around you for a short duration.

In case of HoI, since we crit a lot and use Hatred which adds a lot of cold damage, we shatter a lot of ennemies, thus HoI's AOE will trigger and curse all ennemies in the AOE range (which will normally die in the next half second).

In case of HoT, with crit you may shock since HoT adds a bit of lightning damage to your attack. If you kill those shocked mobs, HoT's secondary effect will trigger and it will start cursing everything around for a few second (and explode barrels and wood boxes, giving you lucky exalts :p). It tends to curse more than HoI and more in advance, ie. its cursing is sensibly more effective. But overall I feel it contributes less to clear speed than HoI, whose AOE is great, almost on par with Herald of Ash secondary effect.

BUT if i use it on a 4 L piece ( not my main attack ) can it scales with the lightning damage of my main attack ( actually using lightning arrow instead tornado shot during its lvl up)

Not sure to understand, but the more lightning damage you have, the more chance you have to shock and to kill shocked mobs. This will increase cursing effectiveness overall.
