I'd go for something like this: https://d2.maxroll.gg/d2planner-ptr/150106fg

Items:
I sacrificed ar on rings because i need the resistances + hfd. Not optimal without cnbf (doesnt help against frost aura anyways) but 75cr+hfd makes it kinda okay.
I tried to maximize damage output by adding CB and bleed.
BH is most superior in terms of dps. Only charge stacking is slightly slower.
The reason for etlich: It freezes the enemy you're attacking and i want to sustain in battle with huge amounts of LL. (44%)
Wearing sigons for ias/ar/str/leech obviously.

Stats:
I went for 3khp and put the rest into str to increase my damage/leech even further.

Skills:
I decided to only put 1 pt in berserk, as it gives magic damage for immunes, but i didn't increase it further because it doesn't add to my lifeleech.
What could really be a great option is sacrificing some doubleswing pts for greater HOWL radius. Getting surrounded kills you.
1 Leap to get out of corners/mobs.
More increased staming would be great, but i just have no more skillpts. The damage is already garbage, so i can't sacrifice taunt.
I max Taunt before double swing. It gives same damage but can be used actively to your advantage.

I played that build abit in singleplayer with hero editor. It feels ok, but far from being viable (use/costs ratio is terrible). Frenzy just doesn't work well at classic. It's only good for a fun playthrough with struggles.

Yeah but just on d2max. It shows ~25-35% less DPS.
I don't think range and slightly faster frenzy charge gain can make up for that.

That's up to you. In reality you should probably focus on the class where you posses the better weapons. Stupid to stick to Bh when you got a 180ed 40 ias naga and just a 110 ed 20 ias bh.
If you got BOTH use the Bh

frenzy on classic only gonna work if you have a separate bo barb, chant sorc, conc din, fana din, and a nec to amp/decrep to buff in hell mode

only frenzy build i ever made worth a damn was a dual +2 40ias fast sword with irathas, blinkbats, 30frw boots and that was just to troll people in norm running around
