Generally, barbs are quite durable, so a lot of things can work. Personally, I would suggest a Concentrate barb for it's immense defense, and potential crowd control.

Go Berserker so you do immense damage, can't be killed by IM, and have a damage type that almost nothing in the game is immune to.

If you're rich enough to get an Enigma, I'd suggest getting one in a low strength requirement armor. You can then probably invest no points in strength meaning more in vitality to increase your survivability.

Defense doesn't matter with a Berserker which might sound bad for HC, but not at all as you have Howl to take care of monsters so you can go one on one most of the time. Also can be negated with 75% blocking and 50% DR, not to mention maxed resistances are easy to achieve on a barb thanks to NR. Look to get as close to 100% Crushing Blow as possible.

Some gear I usually go with:

Death or Beast or Stormlash
Stormshield
Guillaume's Helm or Arreat's
GoreRiders
Raven
Enigma
Laying of Hands
Verdungo's or Nosferatu's or Thundergod's or even Arachnid's if you don't need any of the mods from the other belts.
Highlord's or Mara's
The standard echoing weapons on switch

Max your mastery last.

Try to get the fastest 9 FPA attack (which is hard with Death unless you have an Act 1 Faith Merc). Easy with Beast and not too hard with Stormlash either, but it is important in my opinion.
