This should be a fun crusader build (hammer suckers need not apply) :http://us.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/crusader#aZiVfQ!aYVh!abbZYb
two abilities with cooldown reduction, some shield goodness, firey steed. aww yiss.
Also considering a variant that uses phalanx and bombard instead of condemn+ akarat, and uses the passive that boosts steed, phlanax, and bombard.
I like it. Need more non hammer builds! While yours isn't necessarily all in on fire, I did see some fire crusader builds in beta doing similar things. Need to see if I can find them.
I keep whipping up builds based on certain items. Was trying to devise a pure ranged build that used nothing but holy damage. This is what I came up with:

Suggested legendaries:
Fate of the Fell
Eberli Charo
Armor of the Kind Regent
Then go full on +Holy dmg rolls on everything else.
Smite for wrath/fist to dump it. Judge packs at range to lock them in, then activate the law for the bonus 100% crit dmg and drop Heaven's Fury. Steed is just there to have some mobility as this build doesn't take any survivability nor need to get into melee range at all.
