Im in need of a little advice on gear for my Barb. I am currently running groups on MP5 and want to maximise my build for gaining Para levs. My damage is pretty good, but my survivability is lacking. I seem to die more then I think I should. So, im looking for some advice/suggestions on how to improve that.
I have about 600mil to spend, so gold isnt to much of an issue. I dont want to lose to much damage though in the trade off for better survivability.
Vitality big time, a lot of your gear has no or little vitality except for pants and those you put in your self. Craft a shoulders of vitality for a start with good strength and resist. Craft a better ammy while you are at it, in fact do a bunch of crafting since that will give you more for your buck in the short run.

Are we talking Archon shoulders of Vitality, or stay with Strength ones and hope for a set with decent VIT?

Yes, go with the Archon of vitality ones with a high strength roll. They can roll with a high strength but the Strength gloves rolls with a lower vitality.
Just to clarify since the above post is quite confusing. For Barbs you want to craft Vitality versions since strength can already roll 300 on shoulders. So the max stats for a strength crafted shoulder are 330str/200 vit. Max for vit versions are 300 str/330 vit. So you're only giving up potentially 30 str for 130 vit.
a weird build.. you could switch to HotA + rend/bloodlust build and clean up to mp7-8 without problems.
or get an amulet with ~900 life-per-hit and switch to WW-skorn barb, it will be more efficient on MP5, when you get used to it.
After adding some VIT, I nearly doubled my HP, and it has helped a LOT! I ran some MP5 runs and died 2-3 times in 5+ hours of play, which is a significant improvement. I actually ran MP10 a couple of times, and did really well (thanks in part to a Skorn upgrade I got at a great price)
As for my talents, I switch them out alot between solo and group play, so dont go off what you see.
