He was only dealing with Dust because from episode one Cinder has already approached him and scared him by telling him about her Maiden power and Salem to get him in line. He originally was all about cash and maybe dust to use for his weapons. But the he started stockpiling Dust and Cinder tried to chew him out over that. I remember the scene. Roman was stockpiling the Dust under Cinder's orders. They were taking all the Dust for themselves to do things like make bombs to blow holes in the city defenses. Just like in Breach. Plus, it supplies and entire army called the White Fang with dust they otherwise wouldn't be able to get there hands on, which is helpful for future scenarios such as, I don't know, invading Haven.

She wasn't getting up him for stockpiling the dust. She was getting on his case about not dealing with Tukson before he slipped away to Vacuo, alongside organising the White Fang to steal all the dust.
