If you want an annoying bastard go with hammers/mace.
My Barbarian is only 41, last time I used him he had dual-wield(Spear and Sword I think).
Dual-wield normally gives you more speed, while 2-handed solely for high hits.
Meh still there are some barbs who have both at dual-wield
So then it's a matter of gear, so I agree with the above people
