Disclaimer: This is for the way above average geared HotA barbs.
Ive been discussing different builds and gear setup in a pretty informative thread in the US forums.
In my findings, berserker rage proc's more often then brawler for a HotA barb. (verdict is still ouf for ww/nado build)

After i discovered "berserker rage" works much better then "brawler" for my HotA setup, ive been trying to see how much edps i can sustain and burst vs a single target.
I know there have been faster kills, but iam happy with my times. Especially since iam able to play at mp10 with that gear without dying.. (cant farm with the gear combo that currently holds the record)
In my "sustained" testing i found that rend aint worth the hassle of losing fury. So i used warcry with +fury rune instead, for a shortcut to +25% damage from berserker rage.
Synergize very well with the HoTa spec, as you want to have max fury for the added critical chance anyway. Have to do a little more fury management then with brawler.
The buff works as it should, but there is a few problems when you use it with a dual wielding HotA spec.
1: When the mobs dont line up perfectly, you have to kill them one by one. That means you lose the buff after you have killed the first one in the elite pack. (if there aint any other creeps around)
2: Most dw'ing HotA barbs use a echoing fury, making the mobs to spread out, and run away from you. Same effect as mention above.
Also, same goes for Brawler....I never really investigated any of this information, just kind of went with what I thought worked best.
Same story here. So i gotto say thanks to Nubtro for asking this question.
Think i gonna be using Berserker rage instead of brawler in my HotA spec from now on
Thank you for going through the trouble.....now we need someone to do a WW/RLTW/Rend/OP:KS video for some comparisons.....
Iam keen see to what results a ww/nado barb would get.
