I would love to a brawler in action versus a decent opponent, since I have a hard time believing this will work in reality. It seems to me its based on theorycrafting and haven't been tested fully to conclude if it's viable or not.
Using this in a pub where your throwing weapons are dex or strbugged would look like you're using the Gavel of Pain for amp charges and the opponents would much likely town.
Further duelling someone you're not friends with in private would possibly result in the same or massive defwhoring until the curse wears off.
Most barbs nowadays use an Echoing Weapon of the titan socketed with Fal's granting 33< strength on switch coupled with cta, for strbug with enigma.
The strbug is a great addition vs all the paladins. Paladins is also the class that has the easiest time reducing the 14 second duration of lvl 3 amp into nothing.
Making throwing next to useless versus them.

It would be cool if this actually worked, since I love the idea of a powerful ranged attack coupled with fully damaging whirlwind.

I know longer have mine, but if you play on East/ NL I know a few people who have this character.

You'd be surprised at the amount of townage; most time if people are Amped it is because they were in range (a screen) of you, which leads to a Whirlwind stomp, etc.
Pubs are also very chaotic, and we all know about pubs so I won't elaborate on them.

I don't see how Echoing Weapon pertains to this, as you can easily swap out your switch for Buff weapons.
i.e. if you're TvTing with a Necromancer, lose the Lacerators and adopt Buff weapons and play as a BvC. Likewise, if you're with a Wind Druid, Lacerators Amp provides amazing psychological warfare because Tornado rips through characters with zero or minimal Dr%

If a Paladin uses Cleansing to lose Amp you have quite an opportunity...
Either they lose Fanatacism (smiter) and lose IAS and damage, or they lose Concentration (hammerdin) and lose a ton of damage... So yeah, they'll lose Amp, but they'll lose out of offensive abilities allowing you to take control of the duel.

You never max throwing. This is a BvC with a throwing secondary attack.

I hope I brought some light into your argument.

Hear it all the time. Funny how someone can be sent to town 5 times in a row and still say "omg gavel" (gavel has 3 charges)
more often than not they just die too fast to react

And paladins are also the class that gets rocked by the damage from throwing, too
Being able to throw for damage completely stops them from being able to shiftsmite or shiftzeal or camp hammers- they have to be constantly syncing on the offense or get hit. And for non-hdins thats suicide ofc
a smiter could throw on cleansing but it wouldn't really matter. Throwing axes at them means they either have to charge around nonstop or just get killed by lacerators
its way too easy to ww away at max throwing range in the time it takes for charge to reach you- very hard for the barb to screw up, forces telesmite on the pally (which doesn't work vs sync barb anyway)

Your attack rating rating looks fine, aim for 7-8k with highlords and you'll do quite well.
What's your resistance look like?

I have yet to see you in a pub, but I look forward to the day.

Unless the Druid "EthnicCleansing" is your character and not just someones buffer... then I rescind my statement.
