Closed 50th Grift Solo, using this build.

Armory: http://eu.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Dreadnor-2848/hero/41499512

The main change of the build from other roland's builds - there is no need in focus+restraint rings and also no need in using generator and Angel Hair belt. Using Unity+RoRG together with a Cindercoat provides way more surviveability in an exchange of not so great damage loss: more Shield Bash spam -> more Shield Glares -> more control ->better surviveability. Great build for those, who don't like "glassy" style of gameplay.

Pros: Surviveability, More control spam.
Cons: Less damage dealt.

Gear:
Head: Diamond, +Shield Bash dmg.
Amulet: I prefer Mara's Kaleidoscope, but any is suitable.
Belt: String of ears grant a nice melee damage reduice, but WH also goes well.
Boots: Str, Vit, AR, +Shield Bash dmg.
Weapon: Any antic, but ofc Furnace>Maximus/Blood Brother> Other.
Shield: Str+Shield Bash dmg+Crit Chance+Block/CDR

Gems:

Taeguk - stacks are easily obtained, so dmg+armor are often highly raised.
Bane - as usual.
Molten - main healing in this set.

Build Guide

Shield Bash spam provides cd reduice of defencive spells, so the mobs will be nearly in perma-blind(~80-90% of time). Laws of Valor(UF) - together with Cindercoat grants the ability to spam SB. Iron Skin - our defence. Akarat - more def+burst. Provoke+Shield Glare - wrath regen+control.

Except that, this is a rather typical Roland build in 2.2 patch.

Also, the gameplay of all rolands is in the spam of all abilities, so there was a good joke about that - "What would die first, a rift guardian or a keyboard?"

Upd #1: Shields Glare rune: ofc Zealous Glare.
Upd #2: As an alternative to Cindercoat, you can use Leoric Crown or illusory boots, or even 6Rolands+Unity+SoJ.
Upd #3: Tested The FInal Witness shield, it works nice with cindercoat and provides you a way more control, than a Piro Marella, because of the blind in all directions. Both shields can be used in this build.
Upd #4: Recorded the gameplay of the build with Unity+RoRG+The Final Witness at 47th Grift(~10:40min).
