So I've been playing the crusader class for a little while now and I've acquired a gearset I really like. I'm at 815k sheet damage with 70% combine increase damage on hammers from % lightning damage and % to blessed hammers which makes me hit like I truck.
Here's what you want in each slot:
Head : Str,Vit,Lightning Dmg, increase damage from hammers (Andariel's visage)
Shoulders: Str,Vit,All res,Life % or CD reduction
Chest: Str, vit, all res, 3 sockets
Pants : str, vit, all res, 2 sockets
boots: Str, vit, all res, Increase damage from hammers
Bracer: Str, vit, Crit chance, +% Lightning damage
Belt: you want either a witching hour or a thundergod's vigor for increase lightning damage
Glove and rings: Str, Crit chance, crit damage, attack speed
Neck: Str, +% lightning damage, crit chance, crit damage
Shield: Str, vit, +% to blessed hammers, 10% crit
Weapon: you want to use the best dps output weapon you can get your hands on, make sure there's a socket in there. If you get a schaefer's hammer multiply his damage by the %lightning you get and if the damage output is higher, use it! The sheet damage doesn't matter here.

I am willing to answer any question on the topic of how to gear up for a lightning hammerdin. I will not answer question on the build since there is a pretty good guide already on the diablofans forums here: http://www.diablofans.com/forums/diablo-iii-class-forums/crusader-the-church-of-zakarum/83427-lightning-hammerdin-for-those-who-want-to-destroy?page=10#c196
