I don't know too much about dueling, but I guess I would go with the eth botd zerk for the weapon, and gore riders for the boots.

Jedi is absolutly correct, unless you are using a dual axe baba, then go with doom/ebotdZ and gores or ethTreks, make sure if you have dual axe barb, to be sure and get enigma, because the dual leaves you volnerable to hits because of lack of shield, so pump up your life and dex, and get an enigma, Also, there are a bunch of character build guides in the Character section just take a gander there, and i'm sure you can find one that suites your fancy with ease.

A good zerker uses the str glitch, which allows you to have almost 400 vitality..
I would suggest an Enigma with a very... VERY low strength requirement. Like a light plate enigma or a mage plate enigma. For weapons, I'd suggest one of the two following combo's: Doom (Beserker Axe or Ettin Axe) and Eth Breath of the Dying Beserker Axe, or Doom (Ettin Axe or Beserker Axe) and Beast (Ettin Axe or Beserker Axe)- either would be great for you. Angelic rings and amulet are a must. They make you hit very often with a +life add. Boots would probably be gore riders or travs. I would suggest high steelrends or dracul's grasp, both are perfect. As for a belt, I'd suggest perfect vitality add Verdungo's- as they're best for any melee character. And of course, the helmet: Arreat's always. If you want it socketed, I'd suggest a 40/15 IAS. It will make your barbarian that much better. Oh- and for charms. You use all the skill trees on a barbarian, so any +barbarian skill grand charms would be great for you. Also, stock your inventory with 100 poison damage small charms and vita small charms. And an Annhilius small charm always helps out. (Alternative Items)

If your making a dual axe ww barb, use ebotdz and beast zerk. The fanat from beast adds damage and attack rating. Even though doom is considered bm, i occasionly use for zons to screw up there dodging. If your in need of resists, chuck on a maras or metalgrid and resist/absorb rings (absorb bm i know) cus u wont need much ar for casters cus of their low defense.
Id go for upgraded gores.
Also, id put a 40/10 minimum jewel in my arreat because ias doesnt affect ww speed and 40/15 max jewels dont add the 15 max to your damage when inserted into armours.
