Another 2 cents. I bought 700 dps 700 LOH 1h with a socket for 100k recently. And rised my LOH to 1110 with dualwielding, this dropped my paper DPS by around 10k to 32 something unbuffed. But gave me a way to survive.
With LOH in this build it became smoother and doable, so i think LOH here is a must. Especially with Duals, since u hit faster, get more HP back kiting and so on.
So yeah, thank you, Hoffer, for that amazing build.

Yeah life on hit is great if your dps is on the lower side. Life steal actually starts to become really good at 40k+ unbuffed dps. I have 0 life on hit around 6% life steal on my gear and it's basically all I need.
It's about 90% of a full Act 3 clear. The Stonefort area in the beginning was cut out since I was messing around with the video settings. If you're easily offended by language, maybe don't watch it. I'm not 100% sure what me and my buddy were talking about via Skype while I was recording this, so it is possible it is not suitable for all ages. You've been warned.
I've been getting a bit bored with slow 2 handed build so i have decided to give this one a go, i was a bit put off by these builds since they used WW, and you had to mess with you move key as well.
Been fishing around the AH for 2 weapons 850dps ,700LoH and socket, would be nice with close to 1500 LoH and close to 200% crit dmg just from the weapons alone
-----EDIT------
Got my weapons now, played around with this build for an hour, wow.... i haven't had this much fun in weeks with my barbarian, such fast pace compared to a 0.9 2 hander with cleave
Great work coming up with this build, i owe you big time :Thumbs Up:
Do you guys know if Seismic Slam with dual wielding relies on both MH and OH DPS?
If so is it alternating style like Whirlwind?
I know the Sprint Tornadoes go just off the MH damage numbers. Using the Sprint + WW build, my OH was just a stat stick with low DPS and it didn't matter since Tornadoes did most of the damage.
However, switching to Bash + SS as the major damage dealer now, I think I might need the better OH and makeup for missing stats elsewhere.

SS alterantes between main hand and offhand.
Equipt a crappy weapon from act 1 normal as offhand and you will see the difference.
Bought myself a 2hander. This build still works pretty well without a dual wield setup. I'm still debating whether it's the "best" 2hander build, but it's definitely viable and can be pretty fun.
GREAT BUILD. I sign-up to these forums specifically to tell you that you renewed my faith in barbarians. Thank you.
One change I made is to replace WotB with Furious Charge (as discussed before) but with Dreadnaught rune. I am currently running this in A2 with no LoH or LL and havin a fine time. If i find some decent LoH stuff I may switch into that and maybe change FC-Dreadnaught... still unsure.
To anyone who hasn't tried this build, do it now!
