Firstly gonna go through inventory on the perfect bva setup:
20/20/10 anni
20/20 torch
451 psn sc
10-20 colddmg 20 life sc
16 x 3/20/20
15 x 36/20 (ar/life)
cube in inventory with bo items (6 bo helm, 2 x bk, 3 wc amu and arach kept in cube in inventory at all times for fast bo'ing, and because it circumvents most legit pvp rules as to being allowed precast items because it takes up inventory space).
gear:
Helms: Arreats 200/6 with 40/9 (ed/dex) jewel or rare 30% ed 9 dex 9 str -15 req jewel (this ought to be upped) + Coa 30/15/2 'ber+ber'. I do not think guillaumes or kira's is worth the inventory space.
Amu's: Mara 30@ + Highlords + Angelic amu + 3 wc amu.
Armor: Enigma, style is your own chosing, high defence however is a big plus
Main Weapons: Grief 15/3 ba 34+ ias 400 dmg + Beast 15 ed 3 ar 40 str etc. Widowmaker 200/5 um'ed in stash if you like the ranged option, personally I've never found it to be better than the alternative which will be explained.
Switch Weapons: 2 x 40@ hoto 15 ed 3 ar scourges. (Will be explained).
Shield: Storm with 40 ed 9 dex or rare jewel like mentioned above except it should have attack rating instead of -15 req
Belts: Dungo 40/13/15 + TGV 200% ed + arach (as mentioned above). also a 24 fhr 10 ow str life res belt is gosu.
Gloves: TO Gloves + Draculs.
Rings: 2 x 250/20 raven, 2 x bk (as mentioned above for bo), 1 x dwarf, 1 x wisp, 1 x 10 fcr 110+ ar 20 str 15 dex 80+ mana. + 2 x angelic rings
Boots: Gore's 200% + Gosu triresboots like you have already.

skill and stat-tree with explaination.
skills:
masteries: max axe mastery and iron skin. 1 skill into increased stamina + increased speed and 1 baseskill in natural resistances. (33 skills total).
combat: max whirlwind put 1 skill into berzerk (26 skills total)
warcries: max battle orders and put 1 into battle command (23 skills) and when all above is skilled place the remaining skills into shout.
at skill-lvl 101 (level 90) you will then have all skills needed. if you go for more than lvl 90 you can place the remaining skills into leap.
stats: strenght enough to carry gear.
dexterity should be able to give you maxblock when you wear angelics set. whenever you wear raven + wisp/dwarf/fcr ring you will through the raven then also keep the mb if you need a shield.
rest goes into vita.

setup vs sorcs:
fire: fcr + dwarf ring, 2h weaponry + arreats + mara's + arach + trires boots
- fcr ring + arach so you can switch to dual hoto's and chase with 105 fcr bp
light: raven + fcr ring + tgv, 2h weaponry + arreats and mara's, if the light dmg is low you can switch tgv with arach and use wisp instead of raven (use TO gloves if you use TGV, draculs if arach) + trires boots
- again keep fcr to 30% with normal weapons for 105 fcr bp switch with dual hoto's
cold: 2 x raven (allowed in all legit duels) + mara's + 2h weaponry + arach + TO gloves + trires boots
- 105 fcr bp with switch chasing, good absorb (legit absorb too) + stackres in gloves + dual hoto's and mara's when chasing.
setup vs other barbs:
shield, grief, angelic rings + amu, dungo, draculs, arreats, gores.
alternative with 2h weapons is to use coa instead of arreats for max dr.
setup vs smiters:
2h weaponry, coa, angelic rings+amu, dungo, draculs, gores. practise counterclockwise triangle ww'ing and the all so annoying ww'ing away from opponent so they keep running into hits here
setup vs elementaldruids:
shield, grief, angelic rings + amu, dungo, draculs, arreats and gores.
- reason is that with this setup you keep max attack rating, which will make you hit each and every time and thereby killing your opponent faster. I also discovered (and I have been unable to prove this) that while wearing a shield I took less damage with 50% dr setup than I did with coa 50% dr setup, while still being able to hit and kill without the fana add from beast.

setup vs javazons:
shield, grief, TGV, draculs, arreats, raven, highlords and fcr ring. (fcr ring is mainly for str/dex+mana adds, if you want to you can also get a pure damage ring with 9 min dmg 5 max dmg 150 ar 20 st or the likes to have as second. if you however play bm use wisp).
with this setup there's no need to explain how to play, they won't be able to hurt you without ***.
beyond these setups it's pretty much mix the gear you got to give you the max abilities vs all chars.
use shield vs boners, wisp instead of 1 angelic vs v/t's (foh + smite), wisp instead of 1 angelic vs hybridsins. tgv vs pure trapsins. psn necro's that's just stackres and 4 antidotes in belt, kickers are self-explaining, same with wof'ers. shapeshifters are same as barbs setup unless fireclaw which means you add dwarf instead of 1 angelic, and vs bower keep block and switch 1 angelic with raven.
besides that you should be good to go on what gear vs what chars.

oh yeah, it's not really legit, but a demon limb for enchant ain't a bad thing, atleast not in pub games
