Definitely a tank-trophy.
But sword & shield barbarians are relatively useless (just like almost any other character right now) if you don't have crit chance wherever you can. Tanking for friends is a slow way to magic find.
For a pure-tank barbarian, that helm is hilarious though. With proper gear, you can get well over 200k life. Toss in huge armor, huge resist, and the highest possible block chance, and you're left with an indestructible barbarian. Each 8% life return skill = 16,000 life back per unit hit, and 16000 life is worth a ton on something with 1400+ all resist and 13000+ armor.
