Heart Slaughter is better but I don't think it's way better. The fire chain from maximus is very nice but physical barb build is just better. And to the poster above me, reading 'I abandoned my barb in 2.1.2 as it sucked utter balls compared to any other class in-game' made my day, cogratulations, man.
Problem is the demon slave dies VERY fast at higher GR, so you get little help with the chain.
I am currently a Fire/Maximus barb and I clear ~45 Grift rather easily. I think Fire clears trash mobs easier than physical because the chain refreshes your gem dots too and the damage from your furious charge is just massive. The only downside is indeed the longevity of the demon on grift bosses, where a physical barb gets to dot and run.

So what to use?
Maximus dmg scale; 3274-4388
HSlaughter dmg scale; 3555-4321
Phys fc barb always better and hs is the winner. Great secondary affix btw

The HS is way better not only in effective damage as physical but also renders healing on kill.
THEY HATE US, CUZ THEY AIN'T US

After using the HS for a couple of days now i feel its better than the Maximus. Currently at 86% phys dmg so hitting alot harder.
