That early in the game, look around the shops for armor, belts, etc. with high resistances. Eventually, you'll put some stuff together that will protect the barbarian. Later in the game you will just find stuff that has good resistances. Also for shamans:

Strength: 3 pts per lvl
Dexterity: 1 pt per lvl
Vitality: 1 pt per lvl
Energy: zero

You need more vitality. Barbarians get more life per vitality than other characters, but in close combat characters need a lot more life. I would guess something like 2 or 2.5 vitality per level would be good, so for the next few level put a lot into vitality. The points could come from strength since skills increase damage more than strength and less per level will get enough strength for equipment.

I don't know about builds for barbarians, but all this information comes from playing other characters.
