Thanks to Toetag, here is some useful information:
GEAR:
Shoulders: The Invoker shoulders are probably the best bet for anyone that is using the upgrade to legendary option in the cube. They will always roll with thorns, and legendary affix on other shoulders isn't really that important.
Bracers - Strongarms are also an option. They're useful for groups or for solo if you're running condemn.
Gloves - St. Archew's give a bubble that is extremely useful, especially in higher GRs.
Weapon - Of the 3 main weapons listed, I personally feel that the Switmount is the easiest to farm into a perfect or close to perfect roll. with Swiftmount, you're looking for STR, VIT, CDR, AD, which is 4 stats. Rerolling the weapon damage to one of the stats you need is perfectly fine. With Dombringer, you want PHYS, STR, VIT, CDR, AD, which is going to be more difficult because of the %20 physical being optimal. The Sunkeeper is similar as in addition to the usual, you also need a good legendary property roll. (30% bonus dmg to elites) Swiftmount has a different playstyle than the other two which you may or may not like.
Shield - If you're looking to gamble for a Lidless Wall, use a barbarian. This is because as a crusader, you'll end up gambling for both non crusader shields, as well as crusader shields. Barbs can only roll non crusader shields.
BUILD:
There are many options on how you build. Consecration Bed of Nails, Divine Shield Divine Verdict, LoJ Decaying Strength or Immovable Object, LoH Hopeful Cry, are all good choices for the two slots that can be changed. Those are the Right Click and No. 3 slots on this build.
STATS:
You may not really see your sader take off until you reach enough CDR to make Akarat's Champion active on every physical roll around. I believe that number is 65%. Balancing stats is probably the most difficult aspect of this build as you have to sometimes save a new piece until you can use it without hurting your CDR, Phys, STR, VIT and AD too much. Thorns isn't as important on the armor slots that can't roll 9,500. Ultimately though, you'll want it on as many pieces as possible without sacrificing the more important stats.
GEMS:
Running STR gems or AR gems in your gear is usually going to be a personal choice. Many use a combination of the two as well and do fine.

The shoulder type isn't really important. If they're well rolled DW shoulders, use them. But if you come across a better set of ancient shoulders, use those. The Invoker shoulders are a good type to aim for when crafting in the cube because they'll always have thorns, even though it's not that important, it's one less thing to reroll.

"You have to learn the playstyle. You avoid everything until CoE physical procs and then you cast Iron skin>Bombardment. You can use shield glare (divine verdict) if the mobs are very aggressive until the CoE proc"
This is very much the playstyle. It's basically a hit and run spec. When you're waiting on the physical phase of the CoE, it's a good idea to scout ahead and to try and bring enemies into the same area to increase area damage.
You're welcome man.
Just got an ancient doombringer to drop. Wanting to verify my reroll decision and get opinions on whether it is an upgrade over my ancient swiftmount.
{Doombringer]
1373-1682 Cold Damage
15% physical
9% Damage
853 Str
24% Area Damage
2.1% chance to stun
My thinking is to reroll the 9% Damage to 10% CDR and put a gift on it.
Sad that it rolled %DMG, and near minimum rolls on both Str and % physical
My current weapon is:
{Swiftmount}
959 str
835 Vit
23% Area Damage
10% CDR (rerolled to this)
+8 max wrath
Ramaldini's socket
Any opinions would be greatly appreciated
@Mathezar
On the DB, the damage range, bonus damage percent and stun chance are pretty much wasted stats. Rerolling the dmg % would be the best bet. You do pick up 15% physical, which is nice, but at the cost of 100ish STR, 835 Vit and the extra mobility of the swiftmount.
Your SM itself isn't bad. The +wrath is the only wasted stat which to me would be the better bet. My vote is the SM for you.
If you are running this in two player I suggest you use APD. In high grifts it is useless to use nemmies because of how hard it is to kill yellows, couldn't have clear 95 without them
What variations would you make for T10? For that matter, is this build even faster for T10 than Punish Invoker?
I found this T10 variation from your own spreadsheet, but it's a bit confusing since you say to take The Final Witness, but don't have Glare on the skill list. Am I missing something obvious?!
I use Swiftmount. The only thing I change for T10 is I drop Mortal Drama for In-Geom. If I was using DB I'd switch that for SM.
That build better https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8O3cmnDO5-4
