Gearing Barbs can be a bit of a jigsaw puzzle. If I'm forced to limit myself to two slots, I probably say to trade the chest for Tyreal's Might (mostly to pick up the movement speed) and drop the Hellfire ring either for something with crit chance, crit damage and min-max damage or for a Stone of Jordan.
I'd go a different route though if I could change out more than that. Ideally, I'd do something like:
Swap the Mempo for either a crit Mempo or an IK helm. (Probably the IK helm if you swap the belt below, plus it's much cheaper)
Get a Skorn with both llfesteal (allowing you to drop Bloodthirst + the IK belt) and crit damage if you can afford it. If not, you could keep what you have as well as the belt.
Trade the IK Belt for Witching Hour if you get a lifesteal Skorn.
Swap the boots for Natalya's.
Trade the Hellfire ring for Natalya's, focusing on some combination of crit chance, crit damage, min-max damage, strength, resist all or vit depending on what you can afford and roughly in that order
Try to craft bracers with crit chance and resist all.
Alternatively, you could go with Zunimassa's boots if you really want to keep the Hellfire ring and the Unity.

so i replaced hellfire for nats ring that i got 7m and replaced ice climbers for nats boots and also bought a higher dps ik belt and for about 8.5 mil i upgraded 20k dps.
Thanks for the advise. i will buy a new unity next but i gotta save up alot for a good one.
Should i still swap mempo for ik helm? i think i have a great balance going atm.
Import your character into a calculator such as at d3up.com or d3rawr.com/d and compare some items you find on the AH. The IK helm loses some luster if you already have the 3-set bonus, but getting crit on your helm is still strong both for the damage and for the extra ToC sustainability if it's ever falling off.
