Anyone have any tips on defeating these floating helmet enemies? I find them extremely frustrating and even one of them usually takes me to near death.

From a distance I can snipe them with a bow, but it takes a long time. Sometimes I don't have the luxury of using the bow, such as when you come up a ladder into a small room with one of them. I can sometimes get them by waiting for them to fire on an angle, jump the projectile, then hit them, but the timing can be amazingly tight and it's not working out so well.

Ignore them if you can. They won't follow you anywhere so it's the safest approach you can get ;) I did it all the time.
Depends on the type of helmet. If it is a fire helmet then attack it with ice and vice versa. This takes them down fast. If you don't have the spells or wands or pets to do this, then just try to ignore them.
I generally use pets. They lag a bit behind you, so they'll take the initiative to shoot while you run to safety, or as you half-pop out of the floor or ceiling. They insta-heal with two keystrokes so they can exchange a few hits. And if you select the right pet, it can be quite fast.
