Recently geared up barb, but with ias and I wanted to kill elites, so spec is: rend+hota+ww, also using bloodlust rend for survival.

Ehp with dodge buffed: 781k (unbuffed 512k)
Dps: 223k with soj (284k to elites), buffed with passives + merc + battle rage + wrath = ~500k (no brawler/berserk fury)
tdps buffed: 2.62m with killing spree, without 2,36m,
aps: 1,89, 6 tps breakpoint
My goal was to reach 250k unbuffed with soj, but need to craft trifecta amulet for this, (and get more ehp if I want replace the one I'm using), so far failed.
Also with trifecta ammy, could go for crit mempo, and then hit 2,0 breakpoint.
Overall works well, hota at ~2aps is quite fun, these 2-2.3m crits poping up.
The way this build works is, you kill champ packs with tornadoes (unless champs clump up so you can hit all with hota), and rares you kill with hota, rend to get god mode life steal, and just focus down rare guy with smash, ignoring everything else around you because of rend life steal. Mp10 elites easily go down under 20s, even extra health.
I dont see much difference in trash killing vs ravage, because of higher aps, you can pretty much rend twice during same amount of time as budget low aps barb. Using default range rend, doesn't seem to make that much of a difference overall. With this speed hota soj, it is possible to pretty much spam it vs single target and not run out of fury.
