The best kind of WW barbs are the IK Barbs. Pretty much the same setup your using but get the full ik set and max mace mastery. The full set gives +7 to combat skills and 5 to masteries and warcries, the mace has pretty good damage but get like 3k worth of elemental and magical damage added in.
You could also try a wolfbarb which is what i've been using and it's my favorite barb, first you'd have to get ahold of a wolfhowl helm so you can transform. But here's a bit of the setup
Max : Shout, BO, Iron Skin, Polearm/Mace Mastery
rest into prereqs and BC, Speed, and resists
Pump resists and speed evenly after all is maxed.
With a decent setup your looking at like 30k worth of defense and around 3k damage at breakneck speeds with a bonehew. They're great for PvM cause they attack very fast, don't need to be aimed (feral rage hits anything within range) and never get hit. My barb at level 80 can stand in the middle of the throne room in hell and take almost no hits from lister and company. The only problem is they are among the hardest chars to level i've saw, with no combat skills it gets a bit frustrating. Though once you hit level 30 your set, you can get rushed up and leech baal to level 79 in a few hours.
My setup if your wondering is as follows
Wolfhowl
Shadow Carapace
IK Belt
IK Gloves
Goreriders
2x Shael Bonehew
Raven Frost
Dwarf Star
Highlords Wrath
By no mean godlies except the Wrath (dropped that my first game in hell on my first char oddly enough, before i even got to the den) Cheap and effective.
