Well, I thought having 5 millions as a budget for upgrades was harsh, but I just got lucky and landed a 50 million sale. After jumping up and down like a madman I sat down to see what I could get and 5 hours later here I am; about to pull my hair off.
I am super stumped on what should I upgrade and I came to ask for your help.
First of all, here's my WW Barbarian profile:
US bnet profile: Irghen-1988/hero/5729582 d3up profile: /b/173087
(oops, no links in posts for me yet)
I can farm MP6 keys and MP5 ubers with ease, and am working on adding one more MP to those runs. I am hoping this amount of gold might help push me to MP8 at least in the keys department.
I think my main problem is not knowing where is it more effective to place stuff like Movement Speed and Gold Pickup (of which I'd like to mantain a healthy 7 yards at least). Swapping boots for either Ice Climbers or Fire Walkers w/o those gives me a nice stat boost but then I have to change the chest for a Tyrael's Might and keep Pickup on the shoulders. I was also thinking on getting some high AllRes/Str Vile Ward and an Oculus ring but it feels like a hefty sum of cash for some marginal upgrades.
And changing the weapons seems like a nightmare too, I'd like to keep that 45MF Sun Keeper but upgrading on those high str/critdmg rolls is prohibitive.
So, can anyone here offer me some insight? Am I being just too greedy? Should I just jump the gun and get something shiny or try to sidegrade my way into some extra stats? Or is dropping everything into some top end gems advisable?

yes u are too greedy
no dont get tyriel because u will just replace it again
you want to pump ur str. easiest place would be your IK helm. 100 more str for 4 million is a fair price but u lose the armor
glove and pants lacking of str too. yes dont buy sidegrades. get real upgrades and see which one offer you the most increase. high str ice climbers with MS is expensive (with AR too it went crazy)
unity with str random rolls give u a lot of STR too if u want to consider it. oculus is just rubbish. go for litany of the undead if u want AR ones, it gives u damage reduction and crit too
you could go for wailing host with str random roll instead of unity try find average damage. will cost u 50-80m at the very least for either rings
So did you spend your money? I see you are pretty low on strenght. Try to get over 2k first. Also getting weapons with socket, crit dmg (and strenght) will boost your dps alot. Main hand weapon should be slow hard hitting mace.
Thanks everyone for the advice, I ended up following on Babu's strength recommendation and made with some Fire Walkers with 215 (because goddamn well rolled ice climbers are super expensive) which pushed me over 2k. I also got a Leoric's Signet for cheap so if I don't feel like it's a farming boost I can at least resell it.

I'll keep a lookout for glove and pant replacements with extra str and look int replacing my IK as soon as I can get a good deal on one with at least double str, hadn't thought of that. I guess I wnt overboard with the extra armor so finding upgrades with armor is proving kind of a hassle, I'll try to drop it from at least a piece so I can stack some more str.

I would say that you should get a ring with some crit on it aswell.
Man! rings are expensive as all hells. Thanks for pointing out Oculus as crap, I may go for a Wailing Host but I'll try to save some more cash so I can get a good crit damage roll to go with the crit chance.
Oculus is not crap, it just has different strengths then other rings like Unity or Litany. It rolls Armor, AR and vit so offers considerably more dmg mitigation then Unity and likely litany also (lacks vit armor roll), if you can find one with Crit chance (random roll up to 6, litany/unity max is 4.5) its a very good ring.
I use one with 4 CC now paired with a Unity with MF roll for farming and I can do MP10 key runs and MP8 ubers easily.
If I were you I'd go
Replace leoric with CC oculus (gives vit and AR which allows;
Replace pants with Str roll Inna's (gain Str and AS, sockets (vit gems) on pants and Oculus replace 185~ of lost vit, MS on Inna's allow;
Replace fire walkers with Ice climbers which can be socketed for high Str and give 10-12% life + random rolls, vit/MF/pIckupR, etc.
