What do you guys think is the best combination of amulet/rings for a PvM Whirlwind Barb? I was comparing ideas, but I'd like to get some different opinions.

Angelic Wings/Angelic Halo/Angelic Halo
+2,184 to Attack Rating
+115 to Life
+10 to Dexterity (40 life)

With that combination, I don't have the CBF mod because I have 40/9 jewels in my Arreat's and Stormshield. The AR is great, but is that much overkill on a PvM?

I thought about switching to this combination:

Angelic Wings/Angelic Halo/Raven Frost (250/20)
+1,442 to Attack Rating
+95 to Life
+30 to Dexterity (120 life)
Cannot Be Frozen
20% Cold Absorb

I lose AR with that combo, but the other mods seem more appealing for a PvM character. More life, CBF, cold absorb, and cold damage.

But, what about a Highlord's Wrath and two 250/20 Ravens? Is the 30%+ Deadly Strike on the the ammy worth losing a massive amount of AR? The 20% IAS and +1 skill are meaningless, and my resists are already covered.

What do you guys think? Shoot me some ideas. Thanks.

Sorry, I forgot to include in there that I was basing those stats on a level 91 character.

For pvm, massive amounts of AR isn't really required. I'd say you'll do fine without the angelics so use the highlords. They offer a lot more damage due to the deadly strike. HLs + 2x raven or raven and a nice rare leech/ar ring would probably be your best bet.

yeah monsters have very little Defense so unless your level is much lower than theirs you shouldnt have too much hit issues.

For PvM Barbs I almost always use 2 x Raven and Highlords, as yuqing already suggests.
