I recently had an idea for a new kind of Mf barb so i tried it out. I took my old mf character's gear and put some on this build and traded the others for the rest of the items i needed for this build. I must say that this build is very consistent in terms of finding decent items. I have roughly 1000% mf and I dont have any skills in the combat tree. Confused??? Then take a look down below to see what I mean.
I have named this build "The Scavenger". I dont know if anyone else has already made this build or not so, if I am taking credit for something that is not mine I apoligize but, i have been playing since diablo 2 came out and I have not found a build like this. I have found some that use the same concept but not to this extent.
"The Scavenger"
Overview
The scavenger is a barbarian build that utilizes the full potential of MF gear and the "Find Item" skill. This build came to me one night when i was playing with my father (Icydeath-Rs) and my sister (Konkhra) who are both Magic Finders. We play every weekend together and go on Magic Find Runs most of the time. I realized though that playing with my Zealer wasnt helping the group any with my MF % of maybe 50 so, I decided to make a build that could really help the group Magic Find....and let me tell you.....it does alot!!!! This build uses no points into combat skills because it DOES NOT FIGHT. Thats right......It doesn't fight. Basically the object of this build is to get your MF% and your chance to find items off corspes as high as possible while trying to stay alive. Magic Finding with this build is very much different from any other form of Magic Finding. I Mostly join heavey populated games and just follow others around, using the Find Item skill and buffing the party (if needed so i contribute something). Your other option (if you want to attempt to solo) is to get a merc and give him the MOST GODLY GEAR YOU CAN FIND.
Skills
Note* This build only requires you to put 1 skill point into "Find Potion" and 20 skill points into "Find Item" to use its basic functions. I however put points into the other warcry skills to assist my party members and myself.

Note* I carry my Horadric cube in my inventory. Doing so gives you an extra 12 spaces to carry more finds.
I know that the equipment is expensive but, with it you should have roughly 1000% MF and a 54-55% chance to Find Items (depending if you used Mara's or the MF Amulet)
Well there it is! I have a blast playing this character and the drops are great too. So, Good Luck and Happy Looting
