I am currently in Act 4 Hell and so far I have gone back and forth and tried many things. At the end of Act 3 Hell, while in route to the heart of sin, I hit a wall with my dps oriented barb. This was my spec
http://us.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/ba...cZV!aaaccZ
I would change a few runes out based on situations but from Act 1 through most of Act 3 in hell difficulty I used something similar to the one listed above. I have used this with sword and board, duel wield, and with a 2 hander. It worked fairly well until I would get to something that hit hard in melee. Another problem that I found with it was the mentality that using wrath of the beserker kind of put into me. When I activated it I had 15 seconds to use it or its wasted. I found that with this activated I took risks that were not needed that often times got me killed, because I didn't want to waste a two minute cool down. Not only that but this build forced me to be in melee range of things that hit hard and had a fairly limited aoe ability. I actually started to get pretty flustered about playing a barb bc of my problems.
Thankfully I read this thread and now I am using this with a sword and board:

Upon switching to this spec, I cleared the rest of Act 3 Hell with no difficulty. Thanks for posting the build Erick, it has worked wonders for me and I'm probably going to use this for a good long while.
