Ah. Unfortunately, I'm, not sure if there is a build for an untwinked spearazon to manage Hell. Spearazons can be effective in normal/nightmare, but unless they have fairly good gear, they usually hit a brick wall in hell. A careful player can take them through, but it is rough.
As for advice though:
Solid investment in passives(maybe 5+ points in dodge/avoid/evade)
High investment in Valk(at least lvl 17 with skill adders for good base equipment on Valk)
Also learn to use decoy. Takes a little talent, but can be very useful.
Main killing skills will be Fend for small groups, and Jab for individuals. Back off and regroup for any packs larger than 3-4 monsters in hell(beyond act3 hell anyway).
Need to find AR solution. Either high innersight, good luck with drops(angelic ring or similiar), or lots of penetrate.
Holy freeze merc preferable.
Find/buy a high elemental Javelin to jab phys immune to death.
The folks at the AB spearazon room have more experience than me though, and you may have better luck asking there.
Now, if he will play a javazon, it's a whole nother ball park. As well as a much more viable one.
