My guess is it's more of a playstyle issue not gear. I cleared a g50 on my first try right after the patch launched using unity/arlyse (skills aren't right on this, but here's a link to my profile and the gear I used). My skill setup was something like this. An alternative to that setup is swapping your primary to flame blades to buff your hydras and using something else to trigger lightning (supermassive would be good).
Personally I don't see much of a use for convention. If I want to survive, I'm going to use unity/arlyse. If I want damage, I'm going to use focus/restraint.
I cleared a 42 without using unity with my arlyse spec, and it didn't go that bad. I had a lot of close calls, but once I realized why I was taking so much damage I adjusted my playstyle accordingly (I had swapped unity out to group with a friend and forgot to re-equip it afterwards).
If you reroll damage and find cold/arcane/lightning damage you can even use elemental exposure passive skill. It is better than conflagration and has no drawbacks like glass cannon. It is even better with group play too. It will also be nearly 3k damage

This is what I'd suggest as well.

My highest was 38 before I found my second unity, and the 38s I cleared were pretty average in terms of difficulty (i.e. they weren't zombie rifts).
