Before anyone just tells me to go read guides, I've read all the guides stickied above. And over and over it looks like there is conflicting advice on which weapon mastery to use. From what I can tell it depends on build and breaks down like this:

WW: Maul
Frenzy: Sword (for dual PB Grief)
Zerk/Conc: Axe/Sword (not sure about this one)

Is this right? If not, please enlighten me. All you Barb experts out there, can you chime in and tell a noob like me your opinion on the masterys? Is there no consensus on this? Thanks!

pick what you like
if you like the look of a weapon pick that masterie or put a few in all of them
its doesnt realy matter since you can respec when you have you "end-game" gear

Leveling - I'd definitely do swords to start since at level 30 so you can make use of Bloodletters - respec and go axes at level 39 for Butcher's Pupils (maybe pair with Pompeii's Wrath for the Slow Target).

That should get you to your endgame gear level.

Concentrate/Shout defense barb would be Sword (for upped Swordguard).
Frenzy - depends on what you pair, but good frenzy weapons can be made in swords and axes - depends on what you have to work with (os base wepons).

Swords look coolest by far - dual Bloodletters, Ali Babas, and Lightsabres look awsome.
