My Diablo III build for the barbarian. I call it the Iron Man because he is probably near-impossible (despite the fact that he's running around with only a fraction of his max life).
PASSIVES:
Relentless reduces all damage by 50% when below 20% life, and also reduces all fury costs to zero. This means that you can use all of your fury attacks with ZERO fury cost.
Tough as nails increases your armor, and superstition negates non-physical damage.
With these passives, you pretty much invulnerable when below 20% life... So you'll be running around with 20% life at all times. Avoid health globes and potions.
ACTIVES: Seismic Slam with Stagger:
In my honest opinion, this is the best skill to use that doesn't have a cooldown. It deals 155 weapon damage (almost the same damage as Bash except with a crazy AOE) Since your attacks cost no fury, you can basically spam the hell out of this skill, and since you don't necessarily have to kill stuff in melee range, it's easier for you to avoid health globes.
The 70% chance to stun is also a huge plus. It makes you even more durable. Mobs can't hurt you when they're stunned. 70% is also a huge number. You are SPAMMING this skill. No monster will ever be not stunned.
Whirlwind with Eye of the Storm:
This is your fury generator, believe it or not. The skill will cost absolutely nothing, and with the Eye of the Storm rune you will actually gain 1 fury for each time you hit an enemy. Use this every so often to keep your fury up, just in case you mess something up and end up without the ability to use any of your skills.
Sprint with Marathon:
Your mobility skill. No cooldown. When you're out of combat and exploring a dungeon or something, use Sprint to run around places. Since you don't have to spend any fury and there is no cooldown, you can use this skill indefinitely.
War Cry with Impunity:
It's not a bad thing to be a little overkill with your defenses. You are, in fact, running around with only a fraction of your life.
Battle Rage with Marauder's rage:
You have unlimited fury, why not? This should be on whenever you're in combat.
Earthquake:
Your "might" skill is your own personal preference, but I'd prefer a damaging attack that does 1600% weapon damage over a puny little buff.
In my honest opinion, I would love to see Diablo corrupting somebody important, like how he corrupted the warrior in Diablo 1. Not in the same way, of course. I've seen some rumors of SPOILER WARNING

, and it sounds convincing, but hey, who knows?
