I couldn't figure out how to comment on a post :( I think this should probably be a comment under the marked answer for this question but SDamman is updated and all I needed to do was this

// enable API versioning                   
GlobalConfiguration.Configuration.Services.Replace(typeof(System.Web.Http.Dispatcher.IHttpControllerSelector), 
     new SDammann.WebApi.Versioning.RouteVersionedControllerSelector(GlobalConfiguration.Configuration));

GlobalConfiguration.Configuration.Services.Replace(typeof(IApiExplorer), new SDammann.WebApi.Versioning.VersionedApiExplorer(GlobalConfiguration.Configuration));

There is a type called VersionedApiExplorer and it works great. Hope this helps the solution is much easier now.

EDIT: I realized after trying to get help working again myself that my answer wasn't obvious at all.

The ONLY thing you need to do to get help pages working is replace the global configs IApiExplorer, that's it. Just do it right after you change the handler per sdammans instructions.
