My normal solo spec is a Warlord/Champion build that works really well, but I've been experimenting with various builds that provide more general purpose usage beyond just soloing. Using Bloodbourne's guide as a base, I came up with some modifications to make it more suited for open-world grinding while still finding use for dedicated AE DPS on raid/dungeon trash; with only six role slots I found that I was running a bit short so wanted to consolidate something. The only thing this build is lacking is any kind of self healing (as bad as Battlefield Medic is) and any kind of major cooldown, but so far in open world content things die fast enough that as long as I'm not stupid and pull a crazy amount of mobs, I can handle it.
In addition, this build can work while leveling, right out of the box; make sure to go 4 points into Warlord immediately to get Recovery Posture, and then put points into Champion as you level up.

Build: 61 Champion/11 Warlord/4 Paragon
The points are pretty self-explanatory; 11 into Warlord gives you an Interrupt and the ability to block (for soloing) along with the incomparable Recovery Posture.

Usage
Apply Weapon Defense as needed for an absorb (if you're really lazy you can macro it with something else so it goes off automatically). Use Chains of Life as your finisher if you pull too much.
