Spear Barbarians can be quite good, assuming you play the right way. You have longer range than virtually everyone else, but you need to use that. Never get to close your opponent, or you will get hit, and probably die.
You also don't want a War Pike, it's too slow to hit the last breakpoint (even with 60% Increased Attack Speed). Only a Ghost Spear, Giant Thresher and Great Poleaxe have 6 sockets, are range 5 and still fast enough to hit the last breakpoint (the later two being polearms).
