Laten grand charms and hearlds

No, this was never a thing - it was a misunderstanding back when RoTW first released, and it spread and lots of people believed it. Since sunder charms were so rare finds, and T4-T5 heralds had a much higher chance of dropping them, many people never even saw one drop, so it was believable. The misunderstanding was due to a misinterpretation of datamined information. It was debunked months ago by Pavke - sunders were always possible drops from all tier heralds.

Furthermore, in patch 3.2 (which went live almost 4 weeks ago), Blizzard changed it so that sunder charms can drop from any monster with a high enough level (69 or higher IIRC), even in nightmare. This change was clearly mentioned in the patch notes.

So yes, sunders can drop off pretty much any monster in hell (and even from some in nightmare, especially when TZ). It was a deliberate change by Blizzard.

Found my most recent one farming Andariel

I'd love to hear from others: how many latent charms did you find and who dropped them? My experience after 1 month of playing only TZ: I found 3, one from 1st tier Herald, 2 from mobs. It really seems like clearing TZ Acts with high MF is more effective (and less tedious) than pure Herald hunting.

I found 5 Latent Sunders so far. None from Heralds (maybe because I am not looking for them specifically ), all from TZ Bosses.

Eight so far: 4 Crack of the Heavens, 2 Rotting Fissure, 1 Cold Rupture, 1 Flame Rift. 7 of them from heralds (while clearing whole acts terrorized with shards), one from Andariel. Sadly I've yet to see a Bone Break or Black Cleft

I think the magic and Bone breaks are less likely from heralds if I remember correctly. Your odds are better with andy for those.

i found around 10, including 1-2 before patch.
after patch, one from a random monster, one from a chest in Tal Rasha tomb (and it was perfect lightning with -10 res). rest from heralds, mostly t5
