I'd see a 9 Dex adds jool more useful than Eld. Even just a 40% ed 9 Dex.
However, you could compensate the loss of life due the stating of dex by putting 3-4 WC Skillers.
That would make your barb also more suitable to boost team. The only thing you'd miss is the 3 Max from scs (you somehow recover part of the Ar with the extra Dex).
That's commonly know as BvA while BvC is more focused on 1v1.
