Twinked or not ?
Berserk doesn't leech. Warcry is very mana-hungry.
So if you're going for an untwinked char, you may face serious mana issues.
Why go axe/shield ?
If you keep them stunned with warcry, you may as well go for a two-handed axe. The point of berserk is to lay down some real smack. ;)
I haven't checked Famine's stats, so maybe I'm wrong here: I'm reading your comment about Famine as providing a lot of elemental damage. Unless 1.10 dramatically changes the situation, you don't need elemental damage with a berserker: few monsters resist magic damage, and you have physical damage for those.
